Strong wind: The wind pressure can directly destroy houses and buildings, telecommunication and power lines, and high-stem crops, as well as causing premature threshing of rice and wheat, and premature fall-off of fruits.
(2) Foehn: warm, downslope winds from the mountain that makes crops wither.
(3) Salt wind: Wind from the sea containing salts that can cause inland disasters such as crop wilt and electric circuit leakage.
(4) Waves: Waves always accompany raging winds. Ocean surface waves induced by typhoon strength winds can be as tall as ten or twenty meters, which can easily overturn and sink a vessel at sea. Moreover, gradual erosion of the coast by the waves can cause disasters.
(5) Surge: The sea rise of the surface by the strong winds pushing of the ocean over the shallow depths at the coast plus some rise due to low air pressure causes coastal seawater intrusion.
(6) Heavy rain: Destroying crops; flooding farmlands and low-lying areas.
(7) Flood: Heavy rains in mountain areas often cause rising river, and result in bank rupture and floods that destroy homes, buildings, and farmlands.
(8) Landslides: Torrential rains always scour rocks, and this may cause collapse of mountain rocks, a slip of the land down the slope soil landslides, washing away homes, injuring people and livestock, and obstructing to traffic. The mountain highways often suffer from such disasters.
(9) Infectious diseases: After typhoon floods disaster areas are prone to infectious diseases such as dysentery and cholera.
