Abstract

This paper reported the characteristics of residential and human damage caused by so-called ‘rain typhoons’, which accompanied by heavy rain, and ‘wind typhoons’ which with severe winds. It was found that the number of residential damage and casualty has not decreased much in recent years focusing on typhoons since 1991. The number of dead and injured people increased especially during ‘wind typhoons.’ During a ‘wind typhoon’ with little rainfall, some people work outdoors even under severe storms, which leads to the spread of human damage. It must be widely educated that you should not go outdoors to protect yourself in strong winds.
