High tides occur when the sea level rises due to the “blowing effect” caused the winds associated with typhoons, and the “sucking effect” caused the low pressure itself caused the approaching typhoon.

Countermeasures for high tide surges
As the tide level rises, seawater may overflow the dikes and flow onto the land, causing great hazards to people, objects, transportation, and facilities.
If you live near the coast or go to a place close to the sea, please check the hazard map of these areas in advance to see if they are located in a flood-prone area and confirm the hazards of past disasters and storms and high tides.
Collect the latest weather information and keep an eye on the situation, listen to any evacuation advice and high tide warnings from the local community, research a good evacuation route, and evacuate as soon as possible.
The phenomenon of high tide surges
Due to bad weather or the transit of a typhoon, land is at risk of being flooded due to the low-pressure sea being sucked up high, causing the tide level to rise and then strong wind blowing the sea water onto coastal area.
When the seawater flows onto the land, ships, houses, etc. can be destroyed, causing huge casualties and other damages.
