Abstract

GIS technology provides a powerful tool for disaster hazard assessment and mitigation. A GIS based system is developed for typhoon data management and analysis, typhoon simulation and hazard assessment for southeast coast of China. A typhoon database by Microsoft Access is designed. Data manipulation and analysis, typhoon simulation and hazard assessment, and visualization of results are implemented on GIS platform. This GIS-based typhoon database and analysis system greatly facilitates typhoon hazard assessment.
