Typhoon damage assessment

Typhoon damage assessment involves evaluating the extent of destruction caused by a storm to better coordinate recovery efforts. It includes inspecting affected areas for damaged buildings, infrastructure, and natural resources, often using aerial surveys, satellite imagery, and on-the-ground reports. Assessments identify safe zones, urgent repair needs, and overall impact, providing data to assist governments, agencies, and communities in planning repairs, allocating resources, and rebuilding efficiently. Accurate assessments are crucial for effective disaster response and long-term resilience planning.
