Zusammenfassung |
Super Typhoon Haiyan entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility
(PAR) on 7 November 2013, causing tremendous damage to infrastructure and
loss of lives mainly due to the storm surge and strong winds. Storm
surges up to a height of 7 m were reported in the hardest hit
areas. The threat imposed by this kind of natural calamity compelled
researchers of the Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards (Project
NOAH) which is the flagship disaster mitigation program of the Department of
Science and Technology (DOST) of the Philippine government to undertake a
study to determine the vulnerability of all Philippine coastal communities to storm surges of the same
magnitude as those generated by Haiyan. This study calculates the
maximum probable storm surge height for every coastal locality by
running simulations of Haiyan-type conditions but with tracks of
tropical cyclones that entered PAR from 1948–2013. One product of
this study is a list of the 30 most vulnerable coastal areas that can
be used as a basis for choosing priority sites for further studies to
implement appropriate site-specific solutions for flood risk
management. Another product is the storm tide inundation maps that the
local government units can use to develop a risk-sensitive land use
plan for identifying appropriate areas to build residential buildings,
evacuation sites, and other critical facilities and lifelines. The
maps can also be used to develop a disaster response plan and
evacuation scheme. |
