OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, you should be able to;
- Define a typhoon
- Describe the intensity of Typhoon Signals.
- Identify what to do before, during and after the typhoon

Tropical cyclone
• is a system of thunderstorms that are moving around a center. It is like the terms: hurricane,
cyclone, and typhoon.
•Tropical cyclones are the second-most dangerous natural hazards, after earthquakes.
•Tropical cyclones can often include multiple hazards, such as extreme winds, heavy rainfall,
storm surge and flooding, lightning and tornadoes.

- A tropical cyclone is a warm-core low pressure system, without any front attached, that
develops over the tropical or subtropical waters and has an organized circulation. These
include hurricanes and typhoons.

- A tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm that begins over tropical oceans, and they can
vary in speed, size, and intensity. Tropical cyclones are the second-most dangerous natural
hazards, after earthquakes.

- Tropical cyclones can often include multiple hazards, such as extreme winds, heavy
rainfall, storm surge and flooding, lightning and tornadoes. When these hazards interact,
they can significantly increase the danger and threat that a tropical cyclone can pose.

- Tropical cyclones are also called hurricanes or typhoons, depending on the region.

( Victor, Rozette J. )
HURRICANES – are tropical storms that forms over the NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN and
NORTHEAST PACIFIC.
- Hurricanes comes from the Spanish word “huracan” meaning evil spirit of the wind.

CYCLONES – formed over SOUTH PACIFIC and INDIAN OCEAN.

- Cyclone is derived from the Greek word “Cyclos” meaning the coils of the snake.

TYPHOONS – are formed over NORTHWEST PACIFIC OCEAN.

- Typhoon comes from the Chinese word “Tai Feng” meaning big wind.

In the Philippines we call typhoon “bagyo” and according to PAGASA, about 20 or more
typhoon tropical cyclones entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
Philippines is prone to typhoon s because of its geographical location which generally
produces heavy rains, flooding of large areas, strong winds which result heavy casualties
to human life and destructions to crops and properties.

( Villasis, Princess N. )
PARTS OF TYPHOON
The Eye
The eye of the storm is the center. It’s somewhat a calm space. When the eye hits an area, winds
slow down, it seems like the storm has stopped.
- The eye is the innermost part of the typhoon. In this part of the typhoon, the pressure is
lowest meaning to say it is considered as the calm part of the typhoon. So when the eye
pointed to that area, the wind slow down and the storm has probably stopped.

Eyewall
•The eyewall houses extremely high wind speeds, causing damage to both lives and property. It
is a ring of thunderstorms.
- Eyewall – the eyewall have the most violent wind. The eyewall gives an heaviest rainfall
and also an extremely winds that can cause of damaging some lives and property.

Rain bands
•The outer parts of a cyclone where sudden bursts of rain happen. There can also be gaps
between rain bands where no rain or wind occurs.

- Rain Bands - in rain bands the burst of the rain happen. So if the location of the rain
bands points to your area there’s a possibility that the same as an eyewall you’ve been
experiencing an burst of rain and wind.
- 2 types of rain bands
- Inner rain bands are moderate and the wind more at 63km/h to 117km/h.
- Outer rain bands are bright to moderate and the speed is up to 62km/h.

PAGASA is the Philippine national institution dedicated to provide flood and typhoon
warnings, public weather forecasts and advisories, meteorological, astronomical, climatological,
and other specialized information and services primarily for the protection of life and property and
in support of economic, productivity and sustainable development.

-It serves as the primary source in the Philippines for weather predictions, typhoon alerts,
and various meteorological services. Providing dependable information and products, we
aim to empower communities to withstand typhoons, floods, landslides, storm surges,
extreme weather, climate change, and astronomical hazards.

Super Typhoon- winds exceeding 220 kph

( San Pedro, Angelica T. )

There are five storm warning signals put up by the PAG-ASA. When these signals are up in the
vicinity, there is an impending danger.

PSWS # 1
- Winds moving at a speed of 30-60 kph, may be expected in at least 36 hours.
- This signal warns of winds with speeds of 30-60 kph expected within at least 36 hours.
Anticipated impacts include the breaking of small tree branches, tilting of banana plants,
and partial uprooting of very light houses.

IMPACTS OF WINDS
- Twigs and braches of small trees may be broken.
- Some banana plants may be tilted.
- Some houses of very light materials may be partially unroofed.

PSWS #2
- Winds moving at a speed of 61-120 kph, may be expected in at least 24 hours.

- This signal indicates winds with speeds of 61-120 kph expected within at least 24 hours.
Expected impacts involve tilting and some breakage of coconut trees, uprooting of a few
large trees, and partial to total uprooting of nipa and cogon houses, resulting in light to
moderate damage.

IMPACTS OF WINDS
- Few big trees may be unroofed.
- Many banana plants may be downed.
- Large number of nipa and cogon houses may be partially or totally unroofed.
- In general, light to moderate damage.

PSWS #3
- Wind moving at a speed of 121-170 kph, may be expected in at least 18 hours.
- This signal signifies winds with speeds of 121-170 kph expected within at least 18 hours.
Predicted impacts include tilting and some breakage of coconut trees, uprooting of a few
large trees, and partial to total uprooting of nipa and cogon houses, resulting in light to
moderate damage, similar to PSWS #2.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE , DURING AND AFTER THE TYPHOON
 NORZAGARAY COLLEGE
College of Education
Poblacion, Norzagaray, Bulacan
Bachelor of Elementary Education

BEFORE THE TYPHOON

- Have a disaster plan.
• A family should have a disaster plan when a disaster like a typhoon comes, they should have a
plan in case a strong typhoon comes to their area, for example make sure the family is safe, prepare
other lighting equipment such as a flashlight if there is a power outage and it is also important to
have a whistle to call attention in case of emergency food that is not perishable and should be easy
to carry and if the area is flooded it is better to evacuate.
- Board up windows.
• We better put wide wood on our windows before a strong storm comes like plywood so that the
rain doesn’t come in when it’s windy outside our house.
- Know where all the evacuation routes are.
• We must know where our evacuations are, where is the nearest and safest evacuation that we
will go to in case there is a flood in our area so that we can easily get there in case of need. To
evacuate so it is important that we know where the evacuations are.
- Prepare a disaster supply kit for your home and car.
• For example, things inside our house are damaged and our car, it is important that we have a
readymade repair kit because it is difficult to leave the house when there is a storm outside.
- Have enough food and water for at least three days, including a first aid.
- Have some cash handy – banks and ATMs may be temporarily closed.
- Important documents, including medical documents, wills, passports, and personal identification.
- Make sure your car is filled with gasoline.

( Rosales, Michelle )
DURING THE TYPHOON
- Stay away from low-lying and flood-prone areas.
- If your home isn't on a higher ground, leave your home and go to a shelter.
- Establish a family emergency plan.
- Monitor weather updates.
- Stay away from windows, as they can shatter due to high winds and flying debris.

( Sta. Maria, Rowell S. )

AFTER THE TYPHOON
- Check for injured or trapped family members or other people without puting yourself in danger.
- Watch out for flooding, which can happen after a typhoon.
- Do not attempt to drive in flooding water.
- Stay away from standing water - it may be electrically charged from underground or downed
power lines.
- Don’t drink tap water until officials may say its safe to do so.
- Check your family if your complete.
- Check electrical wires or electrical outlet.
- Clean up your home safely.
- Continue monitoring weather updates.
