Abstract

As one of the biggest threats to coastal cities, typhoons (hurricanes) cause huge economic losses every single year. How to effectively reduce the loss of typhoons in these areas is a permanent topic for human beings. The main body of this article is divided into two parts. The first part will take Hurricane Katrina as an entry point to assess its impact on coastal cities in the southern United States based on the Hazus model, an American standardized risk modeling methodology. A series of assessments on the demographic model and the degree of damage to buildings is conducted. As a multifunctional model, Hazus can be used to assess the damage caused by typhoons and in combination with The American Society of Civil Engineers’ standards to propose some practical methods to improve urban resilience. These methods mainly include but are not limited to suggestions for house structure, which will be fully discussed in the following chapters.
