Typhoon Dot (1985)

Typhoon Dot (1985)

]

In all in the Philippines, Dot left 101 people dead [http://www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/cab/dtc_10.htm] and affected more than 1 million people, and left behind over $68 million (1985 USD) in damage. [http://wwww.reliefweb.int/rw/RWB.NSF/db900SID/OCHA-64CUPG?OpenDocument Situation Reports: Philippines: Typhoon - Oct 1985, Philippines Typhoon Oct 1985 UNDRO Information Reports 1 - 3 ] ] However, this figure is considerably limited due to Dot's small size. Floods resulting from Dot affected some 90,000 square kilometres of land.http://www.dartmouth.edu/~floods/Archives/1985sum.xls] On Hainan, floods were triggered in the wake of Super Typhoon Dot, which also left two dead on the island. More than 2300 houses also collapsed from Dot's winds.

In the aftermath of Typhoon Dot in the Philippines, UNICEF was asked to provide water-purifying tablets. The Philippine Red Cross, Philippine government, local authorities and civic organisations provided relief assistance in the immediate aftermath of the storm. Appeals were made for up to US$1.4 million for reconstruction, although the Philippine government did not submit a request for international aid.
