Brief communication: Comprehensive Resilience to Typhoon Disasters: An Urban Assessment of 27 Cities in Seven Major River Basin, China

Zezhao Liu, Jiahui Yang, and Cong Wu

Abstract. The urban resilience based on typhoon disasters are often not assessed. In this communication, we reflect on this issue by analyzing 27 cities around seven major river basin in mainland China. In specific, we build a comprehensive indicator-based model, and adopted the entropy-weighting TOPSIS method. Results show that the Hai River Basin and the provincial capitals had a higher resilience to typhoon than others, while cities of the Pearl River Basin are weaker. In some regions with weaker economy, however, the resilience was relatively higher partly attributing to infrastructure, water conservation projects, and level of information disclosure. The analysis is helpful for agencies and professionals to enhance urban capability of resilience, and provides a realistic reference in response to typhoon threats.

Short summary
We construct an indicator-based framework, and assess urban resilience to typhoon in China’s contexts for the seven major river basins. Results verified the heterogeneity, and the resilience level in certain circumstance was not matched with city strength of economy. The analysis is helpful for government to enhance capability of resilience in specific dimensions, and provides a reference in probing urban resilience assessment confronting typhoon.
