Bloomberg News,Affected by typhoon“Kaemi ”influence,sevenmonthtwenty-fourOn this day, the Philippine National Weather Service issued a red warning for rainfall in multiple areas, including the capital Manila.although“Kaemi ”Will not land in the Philippines,butbecause“Kaemi ”Combined with the southwest monsoon,MultipleThe province has experienced widespread heavy rainfall leading to floods, and the capital of the Philippines, Manila, has declared a state of disaster.

Typhoon refers to a low-pressure vortex with a warm core structure that occurs on the tropical or subtropical ocean surface, known as the Atlantic and eastern North Pacifichurricane. Specifically, when the temperature of the upper layer of seawater is higher than26.5℃At that time, a large amount of seawater evaporated into the air, forming a low-pressure center. With changes in air pressure and the movement of the Earth itself, the incoming air also rotates, forming a counterclockwise rotating vortex of air, known as a tropical cyclone. Continuous high temperatures will make tropical cyclones increasingly powerful, eventually forming typhoons. According to the definition of the World Meteorological Organization, the central wind force generally reaches level 12 or above, and the wind speed reaches every secondthirty-two point sevenTropical cyclones of the same size can be called typhoons.

Typhoons not only bring a large amount of rainfall, but also bring serious disasters to humans. Its destructive power is mainly caused by strong wind, rainstorm and storm surge. The wind speed of a typhoon is very fast, and when the wind reachestwelveAt level, the wind pressure per square meter can reachtwo hundred and thirtyKilogram, strong winds cause serious property damage and casualties; Typhoon is a heavy rainfall system, and rainstorm will cause floods and other disasters; The storm surge of a strong typhoon can cause the coastal water level to rise5-6Rice has caused serious consequences such as the collapse of seawalls, the destruction of houses and various building facilities.

Due to its unique geographical location, climate characteristics, and terrain, the PhilippinesBecoming one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to the impact of typhoons. The Philippines is located in the western Pacific Ocean, adjacent to the east side“World Warm Pool”The Northwest Pacific is one of the main areas where typhoons are generatedThe necessary path in sports. The Philippines belongs to the monsoon type tropical rainforest climate, with high temperatures and heavy rainfall throughout the year, high sea temperatures in the surrounding waters, good dispersion, and easy formation of tropical cyclones, further enhancing the intensity of typhoons. Moreover, the Philippines has numerous islands, known as“The Land of Thousand Islands”The mountainous terrain of the island is conducive to the uplift and convergence of water vapor, further enhancing the precipitation capacity of typhoon, leading to secondary disasters such as rainstorm, flood and debris flow.

The Philippines has been affected by typhoons for a long time and has suffered severe disasters.

Although "Gemei" did not make direct landfall in the Philippines this time, its cloud system is vast and intense, coupled with the southwest monsoon, causing sustained heavy rainfall in many parts of the Philippines. Heavy rainfall has caused floods and landslides in many parts of the Philippines, causing serious damage to local infrastructure and residents' lives.bysevenmonththirty-oneThe cumulative number of disaster victims in the Philippines has exceededfive hundred and twenty-sixten thousand，The death toll has risen tothirty-ninepeople.

In order to alleviate the disasters caused by typhoons, people who are easily affected by typhoons can take some basic protective measures: pay attention to warning information in a timely manner and understand the latest developments; Prepare sufficient emergency food and daily necessities; Strengthen outdoor facilities in advance. When a typhoon approaches, try to stay indoors in a safe and sturdy place, close doors and windows tightly, and stay away from windward doors and windows. Individuals living in hazardous areas should be prepared for immediate relocation.

In order to mitigate the impact of the disaster and assist in the recovery and reconstruction of the affected areas, the Philippine government and relevant agencies have also taken active response measures, such as timely declaring disaster status for warning areas; Urgently allocate disaster relief funds and materials, implement price control to alleviate the burden on the public; The Philippine military is also preparing multiple tactical action teams to respond to search and rescue operations for typhoon disasters; And rapid response teams for recovery work and loss assessment have been prepared in multiple peninsulas. It can be seen that with the development of the economy and society, the Philippine government's disaster relief capabilities are gradually improving and perfecting. However, in the face of such a devastating natural disaster, continuous efforts are still needed to better cope with the challenges of future natural disasters.
