Factors that affects the extent of impact of tropical storm surges 

# data[].attributes.body
1. The location where the cyclone occurs in
Coastal areas whose land is only a few metre above sea level suffered more severe impact than other areas such as the Philippines compared to USA
2. The category of the cyclone
The greater the cyclone, the greater economic impacts as seen in the data where compared to a category 4 cyclone, the economic loss was only 4 billion dollars while a category 5 had an economic loss of 8 billion dollars.
3. The extent of the storm surge
In general, the higher the storm surge, the  greater the economic loss as seen in the data
4. The economic of the country
How well built a country is to withstand cyclones and how well prepared the country it
5. population density
If hits a place where it is very developed, it is going to cause a lot of damage
6. Infrastratuce
Wifi, can get help if needed

# data[].attributes.body
1. wind speed - higher wind speed means the typhoon moves faster and causes more damage
2. location of the tropical storms - bigger land space = more destruction
3. preparedness of the locals - more prepared = more preventive measures = lower death toll

Factors that influence the extent of impact of a Tropical Cyclone.
- Population density at the coast
- Wealth-if you are richer, you have better infrastructure and have a higher chance of survival. You will also have insurance to cover for losses
- Preparedness of the population, how informed they are about the cyclone

# data[].attributes.body
1. Death toll: Over 6340 in Typhoon Haiyan
-due to get washed away from floods, drowning, hit by debris
-no immediate medical assistance
-chronic illness patients cannot receive timely medical attention

2. Economic Cost
-houses and facilities destroyed due to winds and storm surge
-repairs in damages are costly
-supermarkets and warehouses raided
-drainage systems (levee walls in Hurricane Katrina) collapse
-water, food, shelter and medicine is needed

# data[].attributes.body
Category (wind speed, storm surge): higher speeds/water level, more destruction

Location: coastal areas near equator

Death toll: more deaths, more people affected

- may be affected by preparedness of population (whether they were informed of incoming storm and the current economic situation > more developed, less deaths)

1. If a country is more advanced, there will be less damage in terms of death toll because there are more available facilities to protect people. However, it is also because of this that more money is needed to fix more facilities and there is a higher economic cost
2. Comparing countries that have about the same economic status (Philippines & Myanmar), as the date is closer to the past, death toll increases. This is probably in the past, there is less infrastructure and technology to protect people. Similarly to the first point, it is also this reason that causes the economic cost to rise overtime
3. In the later years, there is more climate change, which leads to higher temperatures, which then intensifies the typhoons, hence as the year of the typhoon in closer, the category of the typhoon increases, indicating stronger typhoons.

# data[].attributes.body
environment - coastal areas, coriolis effect, temp of above 26.5°c , waters 60-70m deep (eg phillipines temp of above 30 degree celcius)
economic - how prepared the people are (eg flood walls)
social - their financial abilities to restore their losses ; the quality and durability of their homes and other buildings

1. height of storm surge
2. speed of wind
3. population size of the place affected (higher population = more extensive damage)

factors affecting impacts of tropical storms 

# data[].attributes.body
height of storm surge, wind speed, pre-existing infrastructures in place to protect the city against storm surge, evacuation plans, readiness of people and government. for instance, hurricane katrina has a storm surge of 8.2m, which is the highest among the given data sets, and it resulted in an economic cost of $96-125 billion, the highest among them.

# data[].attributes.body
Rural areas will be affected more socially (death toll higher) as they do not have the infrastructure to defend against a hurricane. However, urban cities will be affected more economically as they havemore infrastructure to repair and lack of electricity can impede the economy.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The location where the tropical cyclone hits. For hurricane Katrina and typhoon Haiyan, hurricane Katrina occurred in New Orleans, a first world country while typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines, whereas many people live in poverty. In more developed countries, buildings would cost more money to be built and would be taller making it susceptible to the cyclone when hit. Therefore, the economic damage for hurricane Katrina was significantly higher costing $96 - 125 billion while typhoon Haiyan costed $8 billion.
