Hydrometeorological Hazards

This document discusses hydrometeorological hazards such as typhoons in the Philippines. It explains that the Philippines' location and geography make it prone to typhoons, as it is situated within the typhoon belt in the Western Pacific. When typhoons enter the Philippine area of responsibility, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) monitors them and issues public warning signals based on storm characteristics. The document outlines some of the damaging effects of typhoons like heavy rainfall, strong winds, and storm surges that can cause flooding, infrastructure damage, and loss of life. It also describes some of the meteorological equipment used for typhoon forecasting and monitoring.

Globe.

• Natural and man-made features including


positions and elevations

SUSCEPTIBLE TO TYPHOONS
• The Philippines is an archipelago consisting of 7,107
islands surrounded by warm waters from the Pacific
Ocean, which is susceptible for the development
of LPA.

• The distance of the Philippines to the equator is the


site for Coriolis Effect, an apparent force that spins
the cyclone

One of the crucial roles of PAG-ASA is to monitor the
PAR, which refers to the area in the Northwestern
Pacific. Warnings are issued once a typhoon enters
PAR.

INTERNATIONAL NAME
Each cyclone has an international name. Once it
reaches the PAR, it will have a local name.

International Name Local Name


Ketsana Ondoy
Haiyan Yolanda
Mangkhut Ompong
SATELLITE IMAGES
-give PAG-ASA a glimpse of the tropical cyclone’s
track or path
Why is it very important for
PAG-ASA to monitor typhoon
once it enters the PAR?
PUBLIC WARNING STORM SIGNALS
The PSWS are announced before the corresponding
meteorological prevail over the locality. This is
because the public must be warned before the
impending occurrence of the given typhoon.

The PSWS are based on:


Intensity, Size of the circulation, Speed of the storm,
Forecast direction
PUBLIC WARNING STORM SIGNALS
The PSWS are announced before the corresponding
meteorological prevail over the locality. This is
because the public must be warned before the
impending occurrence of the given typhoon.

The PSWS are based on:


Intensity, Size of the circulation, Speed of the storm,
Forecast direction
PUBLIC WARNING STORM SIGNALS
NOTE: PSWS to the threatened or
affected locality may be upgraded
when the intense typhoon is
approaching, or downgraded
when the typhoon is moving away.

The damaging effects of typhoons

A. Heavy rainfall
B. Strong Winds
C. Storm Surges
HEAVY RAINFALL
The typhoon may affect the
weather fronts which caused
prolonged rains that can
saturate the ground.
HEAVY RAINFALL
The heavy rainfalls can elevate
the water levels in rivers that may
overflow, leading to flashfloods,
landslides, and mudslides as well.
Over-flowing river
Flashfloods
Landslides
Mudslides
STRONG WINDS
Strong winds can destroy vehicles,
houses, and other buildings. They
can blow loose deadly debris which
can kill people when those objects
fly towards them
STRONG WINDS
They can destroy electrical and
internet wiring; they can destroy
some towers and electrical posts,
and they can uproot trees including
the bigger ones.
STORM SURGE
Occurs when winds and low
pressure brought by the tropical
cyclone push ocean waves to the
shore.
• A storm surge happens when the sea level
increases during a Typhoon.

• The strong winds during a typhoon or a super


typhoon push the sea or ocean water to the
shore.

• This can result in flooding.

• The coastal water could rose to six meters.


HOW LANDFORMS HELP THE PHILIPPINES?

The Philippine archipelago consists of


islands surrounded by bodies of water.
There are areas in the Philippines that
are mountainous.
As the Typhoon hits the
mountainous region in the
Philippines, it may induce its
strength due to the friction it
encountered through areas
caused by the mountain ranges
and forest rich in trees.
