    Abstract:
    By using the statistical data of meteorological disasters, the historical data of Tropical Cyclones (TCs) affecting Lishui, Zhejiang Province, and GDP ( Gross Domestic Product) data of Lishui in the past years, the characteristics of tropical cyclone disasters affecting Lishui from 1984 to 2007 are statistically analyzed. The risk assessment for tropical cyclone disasters affecting Lishui is conducted by use of the improved meteorological disaster grading standards. The results show that the tropical cyclone disaster was most serious among meteorological disasters in Lishui. In the recent 24 years, the occurrence frequency of disasterscausing tropical cyclones was 1.2 per year. The disastercausing tropical cyclones happened usually in the months of May, July, August, September, and October, with the maximum number and the severest impact in August. Although there was slight difference in different months, the tropical cyclone disasters presented an obvious mitigation from southeast to northwest. The largest risk is found in Qingtian County and the minimum in Songyang County with a huge difference.
