Typhoons / Cyclones and E-Resilience
A typhoon / cyclone is a term used by meteorologists to describe a rotating, organized system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over water and has closed, low-level circulation. Typhoons / cyclones can have severe consequences for people and critical ICT infrastructure in Asia and the Pacific. The E-Resilience Toolkit offers insights into a spectrum of available ICT tools and best practices that may benefit policymakers, DRM professionals and vulnerable communities in the Asia-Pacific region to enhance e-resilience and disaster risk management in the context of typhoon / cyclone hazard.
