DAMAGE
1. The damage caused by Typhoon
The Super Typhoon is a massive tropical cyclonic storm systems with winds exceeding 150 miles/hour. Typhoons are dangerous because of their high winds, the storm surge produced as they approach a coast, and the severe thunderstorms associated with them.
Although death due to typhoons has decreased in recent years with better methods of forecasting and establishment of early
warning systems, the economic damage from hurricanes has increased as more and more. The damage from typhoons takes place along coastlines.
But, It should be noted that coastal areas are not the only areas where is subjected to typhoon damage.
Although typhoons loose strength as they move over land, they still carry vast amounts of moisture onto the land causing thunderstorms with associated flash floods and mass-wasting hazards.

(1) Primary damage
Tidal wave :
The super typhoon has a power to destroy everything. It is a Tidal wave caused by typhoon. The higher typhoon level has, the more dangerous the country gets in trouble.

Heavy rain :
There will be heavy rain around the eye of a typhoon. and not only inundation damage but also landslide is occurred.

Strong wind :
It causes blackout and trees and man-made structures are damaged or destroyed by wind.

(2) Secondary damage
Outbreaks of contagious diseases and land slide occur.
Also, many infrastructure is destroyed (that cause blackout) and there are no foods, water, clothes, etc.

2. Risk defending plan
(1) fundamental solution
To prevent super typhoon, we should reduce global warming. because it is the one of the factors that causes super typhoon.
So to reduce global warming we have to:
① Cut down our use of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) for electricity and transport.
② Find and develop new renewable sources of energy that are not reliant on fossil fuel.
③ Perform forestation instead of deforestation.
There are many small ways that we can do this:
① Reduce our use of electricity by Turning equipment off at the wall, Turning lights out when leaving a room, Adjusting heating and cooling temperatures to save energy, Compensate by adding or removing warm clothing.
② Reduce our transport demands by Walking and cycling and skateboarding instead of driving, Use trains instead of planes, Use buses and other forms of public transportation instead of cars, Recycling glass, metals, paper and plastic. These all use less energy when remade. Turn off computers and lights in schools and offices.
③ Slow our greenhouse gas emissions by Composting or worm farming, Planting trees and encouraging our governments and cities to do the same. Speak up against deforestation. The earth's forests need protection.

(2) Typhoon damage mitigation strategies
Super typhoons (AKA hurricanes or cyclones) are natural phenomena. They are among many naturally occurring events - like earthquakes, blizzards, dust storms - which humanity is not able to prevent. This is not to say that we will never be able to prevent them - but it will be a long time before we might be able to. It is possible, however , to build structures, roadways and waterfront facilities in ways that make them more resistant to damage from super typhoons.
① Demonstrating building strengthening methods.
② Developing skills in safe construction methods through training of local builders.
③ Making damage prevention a priority through participative awareness raising using theatre, concerts, community events and displays.
④ Promoting affordable credit for improvements aimed at house strengthening.
⑤ Building schools using the recommended storm-resistant methods and training teachers and children about disaster prevention.
⑥ Developing the institutional environment, through the creation of Commune Damage Prevention Committees in each community.
⑦ Preparing commune damage prevention action plans together with local communities.
