The typhoon is coming, what should the ships at sea do?
1. When encountering a typhoon, ships sailing at sea should avoid sailing to avoid being involved in the typhoon center or the storm area around the center. Ships can change their course and speed in time according to the dynamics and intensity of the typhoon, keep a certain distance from the center of the typhoon and sail to safer waters.
2. Precautions for going to sea should always pay attention to the weather changes, and decide whether to go to sea by listening to the weather forecast and watching the weather. If the weather is bad, don't take the chance to go out to sea.
3. If you are far away from the sea and encounter a typhoon, you should immediately get in touch with the ground, make clear the direction of the typhoon, and avoid the typhoon danger zone in time.
When the typhoon comes, you should ask for help as soon as possible and sail the ship into a safe haven to escape. If it's a sailboat, put down the sail as soon as possible and wait until after the typhoon before anchoring.
5. If the typhoon is far away from your ship, you can sail normally, so you need to pay attention to the typhoon trend at any time. If your ship is going to be affected by a typhoon, you need to find a shelter anchorage as soon as possible, throw double anchors as far as possible, or find a safe harbor to take shelter from the wind. And pay close attention to the typhoon trend.
6. If your ship has been affected by the typhoon at sea, try to keep the bow against the wind, let the ship leave the typhoon center or stay still, so that the ship will not be blown to the center by the typhoon, and pay close attention to the typhoon trend.

After the typhoon lands, all areas of Hainan Island will face strong winds and heavy rains. The wind power can reach more than 9, and the instantaneous wind power can reach more than 12. Heavy rain will cause natural disasters such as mountain torrents and mudslides, which will pose a threat to people's lives and property.
During the typhoon, it is mainly to prevent the collision, anchoring and fire of fishing boats gathered in fishing ports, as well as the risk of casualties and property losses caused by illegal acts such as fishing boats or "three noes" ships sailing against the wind, not returning to Hong Kong to take shelter from the wind as required, and turning off communication and navigation equipment to escape supervision.
According to the statistics of the information management department, during the typhoon in 2022, there were 7 disastrous waves and 3 storm surges with water increase of more than 30 cm. It is estimated that the typhoon wave process affecting the South China Sea in 2023 may be close to normal or slightly more; There will be two or three storm surges in Hainan Island, and the water will increase by more than 30 cm.
Therefore, during the typhoon, important areas and facilities such as offshore ships, offshore fortifications, key coastal projects, coastal tourist areas, fishing ports and aquaculture areas may be affected by disastrous waves and storm surges. Low-lying areas vulnerable to storm surges in the northeast of Hainan Island need to be alert to flood risks.
