Tropical cyclones may have great impact on Guangzhou's economy. They can be classified into four grades according to their intensity: typhoon, strong tropical storm, tropical storm, and tropical depression. Over half of the tropical cyclones affecting or landing at Guangdong are typhoons. Tropical cyclones may severely affect Guangzhou when they land at the coastal area of Guangdong. It is necessary for meteorological service to set up tropical cyclone forecast system, strengthen application of satellite remote sensing techniques in monitoring calamities induced by tropical cyclones, and be actively engaged in services for large engineering projects. The government and community should take effective steps to establish, develop and improve the disaster reduction system. Furthermore, the government has responsibility to actively develop insurance industry, to carry out propoganda and to build infrastructure to protect the cities.
