SUPER TYPHOON USAGI Headed Towards The Philippines, Taiwan, and China September 20, 2013 Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, Vienna, Virginia, USA

The most powerful typhoon of the 2013 season approached the northern Philippines and southern Taiwan on Friday (Sept. 20) with wind reaching 300 kph (184 mph) and torrential rain TSUNAMI ROUND TABLE AUGUST 7, 2005

SUPER TYPHOON USAGI NEAR THE PHILIPPINES

SUPER TYPHOON USAGI: FORECAST

POTENTIAL DISASTER AGENTS OF USAGI Usagi has a diameter of 1,100 kilometers (660 miles), with outer rain bands extending across the main northern Philippine island of Luzon and southern Taiwan. Forecasters predict 24-hour rainfall accumulation of 500 millimeters (nearly 20 inches) near its center.

WIND AND WATER PENETRATE BUILDING ENVELOPE SEVERE WINDSTORMS SEVERE WINDSTORMS UPLIFT OF ROOF SYSTEM FLYING DEBRIS PENETRATES WINDOWS STORM SURGE AND HEAVY PRECIPITATION IRREGULARITIES IN ELEVATION AND PLAN POOR WORKMANSHIP IGNORING NON-STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS CAUSES OF RISK CASE HISTORIES

ANTICIPATORY ACTIONS: THE PHILIPPINES In the Philippines, the Batanes Islands are under the highest storm alert Government officials warned of flash floods, landslides and storm surge in 15 northern provinces.

ANTICIPATORY ACTIONS: TAIWAN In Taiwan, hundreds of people are being evacuated from flood-prone areas near cities and in remote mountainous regions

ANTICIPATORY ACTIONS: CHINA The Guangdong-Hong Kong coastline of China is preparing for Usagi’s arrival on Sunday as a weakened storm with maximum sustained winds of 158 kph (98 mp).

In Hong Kong, a city rarely hit by typhoons, officials warned that the storm posed a “severe threat,” urging residents to be ready for strong winds and possible flooding

The provinces of Guangdong, Zhejiang and Fujian are expected to be at high risk as Usagi gradually moves northwestward.

HIGH TIDES

USAGI: AS A RAINMAKER In Taiwan, the storm system dumped more than 20 cm (8 inches) of rain along the eastern and southern coasts in a 13-hour period, causing officials to warn that a total rainfall of 100 cm (40) inches could happen before the storm leaves the region on Sunday.

TAIWAN: POWER OUTAGES More than 88,000 households were without electricity as of 5 p.m. yesterday, state-run Taiwan Power reported.

Impacts in China (Note: Usagi has weakened to the equivalence of a CAT 2 hurricane)

Usagi will probably make landfall on the central-eastern coast of China’s Guangdong province sometime between this afternoon and tomorrow morning
