A typhoon disaster loss evaluation system based on multi-models

Abstract

Typhoon disasters cause serious economic losses and human casualties every year. An accurate evaluation system for typhoon disaster losses is the prerequisite for preventing and reducing the consequences of the disasters. In this chapter, a multi-model system is introduced. Based on the databases of typhoon information, this system establishes a comprehensive evaluation model which is capable of evaluating the possible losses before, during, and after typhoon disasters and automatically generating disaster ranks. Accordingly, a report consisting of disaster losses and coping strategies is proposed by this system. This chapter illustrates the functional framework, the database design, the model construction, the evaluation methods and the generating report of the system. Besides, partial demonstrations and experimental results are also provided.
