dc.description.abstractTyphoon Saomai was the most powerful typhoon ever to hit Pingyang County, Zhejiang Province. This report looks at the vulnerability of households and analyzes the factors that influence vulnerability. Adaptive capacity of households is measured against several indicators: infrastructure, economic factors, technology, social factors, skills and knowledge. Household needs are discussed in terms of the realities of coping with typhoon disasters, and the paper proposes strategies to improve the ability of households to adapt. The Economy and Environment Program for Southeast Asia (EEPSEA) research and publishing programs support new research and training in environmental and resource economics.en
