Abstract -- Taiwan locates in the region between Asia Continent and the Pacific Rim. Within this region, typhoons play dominated factors of inducing floods in both coastal zones and the inland during the seasons of summer and autumn. The floods are attributed to the combined effects of heavy rainfall and storm surge. To mitigate the relevant disasters, an integrated program of Second Phase National Disaster Prevention had been planned carried out. It is the purpose of present project to propose practical measures that contribute to the Potential analysis of storm surge induced flood around Taiwan.
The priority among all the massive works that practically fight against coastal zone flood is to obtain sufficient and accurate background tidal data around the island. To assess the completeness of the current observation network that monitoring the tide and meteo-oceanic factors, the classification of the In-Situ tidal stations will firstly be investigated. At the meanwhile, basic components of Coastal Disaster Alert System, i.e. the data bank of historical coastal disasters, operational numerical forecast models and GIS system will be established. Totally, the works are planned to be achieved within 4 years.
