Strategic Design of Emergency System for Tropical Cyclone Disaster in Philippines

摘要

From the ancient time to the modern society, natural disasters are extravagant threats that caused a huge number of deaths, destroyed civil infrastructure and affected severely to human lives. The focal point of this research paper is to bring Tropical Cyclone disaster into focus. Prevention and mitigation strategies are proposed and discussed by studying the formation, location, occurrence duration and period, dissipation and probable impacts of Tropical Cyclone. A disaster scenario is chalked out for a selected region of Tacloban and Palo in Philippines because of the critical risk impacts per year as well as the invulnerably geographic characteristics of the location. A plan is devised to cover the pre-disaster phase, impact phase and post disaster phase. Disaster detection technologies have been used to cover informational warning system over these phases such as the GIS, GPS and remote sensing technologies. The main purpose of this paper is to provide a conceptual and innovative design to not only improve the performance of conventional construction system but also change its fundamental method in a way that it is able to sustain against tropical cyclone disaster. The shelters embedded systems to serve human basic needs such as: Life Support System and Power Generation System with utilization of Water Reverse Osmosis Filtration, Darrieus turbine key technologies.
