菲律宾台风专属年均损毁与洪涝暴露

Quote supports modelled annual river-flood exposure of 176,000 and $625M annual damages as of 2010, assuming 1-in-25-year protection. Typhoon AAL 149,083 Million PHP and component breakdown are only supplied claims: Table 7 page 17 quotation is missing. Flood and typhoon losses must not be added.

Reported citation: Climate Risk Country Profile: Philippines · 2021 · PDF page 15

As of 2010, assuming protection for up to a 1 in 25-year event, the population annually affected by flooding in the Philippines is estimated at 176,000 and the expected annual damages at $625 million.

Earlier baseline extracts & citations

Climate Risk Country Profile: Philippines · pp. 18, 24

74% · Multi-hazard population exposure; includes earthquakes and tsunamis

PHP 177B / year · Long-term average asset losses: typhoons AND earthquakes

Population extract: p. 24

The Philippines are highly prone to disasters triggered by natural hazards, with some estimations placing 60% of its land area and 74% of its population as exposed to numerous hazards, including floods, cyclones, droughts, earthquakes, tsunamis and landslides.

Economic extract: p. 18

Calculated on a long-term average basis, the Philippines is expected to incur 177 billion PHP per year in losses to public and private assets due to typhoons and earthquakes... available models suggest that expected annual damages could increase by up to 35% by 2050

Not a climate-only exposure or loss measure. The supplied loss quote is abbreviated; the up-to-35% increase by 2050 needs the full model context and cyclone-only baseline.

Caveats: Quote supports modelled annual river-flood exposure of 176,000 and $625M annual damages as of 2010, assuming 1-in-25-year protection. Typhoon AAL 149,083 Million PHP and component breakdown are only supplied claims: Table 7 page 17 quotation is missing. Flood and typhoon losses must not be added.
