And the disaster losses of tropical cyclones were estimated. The result showed that it was high frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones in southeast coastal areas, and was concentrated in Fujian and Guangdong provinces; the period from July to September in a year was the peak of landing; and there was obvious difference among regions. The result showed that the losses of tropical cyclone disasters were heavy, and were the heaviest in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces.
