EXCEL plot of EMDAT impacts time series global Starting Global, then going to regional later in the talk

Vulnerability is a result of many factors, including: Age of population Proximity to the coast History with previous events Wealth and infrastructure Access to information Access to emergency support Frequency of landfalling TC events

Using SEDAC data from 1990, 2000, 2010 for population living within 100 km of the coast. Important metric for vulnerability due to landfall frequency and intensity.

Using World Bank data for percentage of population ages and 65+ (not shown). Population age is an important determinant in vulnerability to TC landfall impacts.

GDP data is sourced from World Bank. All values have been converted into 2010 US dollars. We are looking at GDP as an indicator of both wealth and infrastructure potential.

One Degree Grid, Hourly Interpolated TC Tracks, Initial Landfall Only

Hourly Interpolated Landfall Frequency TRMM Precipitation Associated with TC Tracks

Hurricane Stan 2005 Average Precipitation Associated with TC (TRMM ) Precipitation Associated with TC Landfall 2005 (TRMM)

Future Research Goals: Investigate precedent and antecedent soil moisture conditions to assess flooding potential Investigate topography of impacted regions to assess potential for landslide and flooding impacts Develop a method to account for the size of the windfield during the duration of the TC track Further work with investigation of impacts with respect to socio-demographic data
