Climate and Catastrophe Risk Assessment - Asia

Met Office cass Hazard Analysis Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety part of the Oasis Platform for Climate and Catastrophe Risk Assessment - Asia, a project funded by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) Saidpur Rangpur Saidpur Rangpur Sylhet Jamalpur Nawabganj Rajshahi Sylhet Mymensingh Jamalpur Mymensingh Tangail Nawabganj Rajshahi Tangail Pabna Pabna Dhaka Narayangani Comilla Dhaka Narayangan Comilla Jessore Khulna Barisal Chittagong Barguna cessore Khulna Barisal Chittagong Barguna 100 km Very Severe Cyclonic Storm (≥ 64 kt) (≥ 33 m/s) 50 20 10 Cox's Bazar Event Exceedance Probability (%) 100 km Super Cyclonic Storm (≥ 120 kt) (≥ 62 m/s) Cox's Bazar 0.5 The same data can be interpreted in terms of event exceedance probability. Here we show the 'per event' exceedance probability for the top 2 WMO tropical cyclone hazard levels used in Bangladesh. A 'Super Cyclonic Storm' warning is generally used as the basis for triggering evacuations. Key Point (m) ▼ Areas within 30 km of the coastline of southern provinces (Khulna, Barisal and Chittagong) will experience maximum windspeed in excess of very severe cyclonic storm condition > 33 m/s (64 kts) with a likelihood of 20-50% per tropical cyclone event (i.e. every 1-in-5, to 1-in-2 events). Windspeeds in excess of super cyclonic conditions ≥ 62 m/s (120 kts) will be exceeded with a likelihood of 0.5-5% per event in limited areas south of Chittagong, with a small area in the vicinity of Cox's Bazar seeing exceedances of 5-10% per event (1-in-20 to 1-in-10). www.metoffice.gov.uk 12 鱼 CC BY
