the other country. It was one of the most destructive and extreme tropical cyclone in the Philippines based on the record of 2013. Typhoon Haiyan or Yolanda initiated from an area of low pressure several hundred kilometers east-southeast in the Federated States of Micronesia o the 2nd of November 2013. The following day the system of tropical depression was developed until it became a tropical storm. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center also known as JTWC calculated the system as a category 5 which is

valued at about $116‚145‚00 in today’s dollars. This storm‚ an extra-tropical cyclone‚ originated as two major storm fronts‚ fueled by the lakes’ relatively warm waters- a seasonal process called “November gale”. Producing over 90 mph wind gusts‚ waves over 35 feet high‚ and whiteouts lead to mass amounts of devastation. The outcome of the Great Lakes Storm of 1913 led to better forecasting and faster responses to storm warnings‚ stronger construction on ships and vessels‚ and improved preparedness.

usually the secondary events that they trigger‚ such as building collapse‚ fires‚ tsunamis (seismic sea waves) and volcanoes‚ that are actually the human disaster. Many of these could possibly be avoided by better construction‚ safety systems‚ early warning and planning. Volcanic eruptions Volcanoes can cause widespread destruction and consequent disaster in several ways. The effects include the volcanic eruption itself that

Definition: A Hurricane is an intense tropical weather system with a well defined circulation and maximum sustained winds of 74 mph (64 knots) or higher. In the western Pacific‚ hurricanes are called "typhoons‚" and in the Indian Ocean are called "cyclones." Hurricanes are products of the tropical ocean and atmosphere. Each year on average‚ ten tropical storms (of which six becom become hurricanes) develop over the Atlantic Ocean‚ Caribbean Sea‚ or Gulf of Mexico. Many of these remain over the ocean

People’s homes are wiped out and livelihoods are destroyed. Poverty‚ population pressures and environmental degradation mean that increasing numbers of people are vulnerable to natural disasters. In Australia‚ natural disasters such as floods‚ bush-fires and tropical cyclones occur regularly

produces rain‚ lightning‚ and rarely tornadoes. Flash floods are a sudden rise in water levels of a steam‚ river‚ or manmade drainage system. Lightning is an electrical discharge‚ and thunder is the shock wave lightning leaves behind. Hurricanes are cyclones that develop over warm tropical oceans. Tornadoes are cylindrical shaped cloud masses with very strong winds and powerful updrafts. All these weather systems are capable of causing severe damage to the community depending on how strong they are.

Lanka Sri Lanka is known as the “Pearl of the Indian Ocean‚ Island Paradise and more recently‚ A Land like no other “. Words such as hazards and Disasters were very rare in Sri Lanka and people lived with seasonal floods‚ droughts‚ landslides and cyclones as if they are part of their lives. Perceptions of people on natural hazards were of a little suffering‚ which they had to overcome with their own methodologies. However a significant change has occurred in the last decade or so. It has come to a

Natural disasters to us in the middle of this century meant flood‚ fire‚ drought and above all Cyclones. We all knew about those‚ and as structural engineers especially cyclones‚ but I do not recall anyone then mentioning earthquakes in the engineering or design context for Australia. This is perhaps a little surprising because in the late 19th and early part of
