Damage to a worker’s residence or workplace accentuated short-term earnings

losses. Effects varied by prestorm industry, with larger gains for workers in sectors

related to rebuilding. (Groen,Kutzbach & Polivka, 2020).

Tropical cyclones cause widespread damage in specific regions as a result of

high winds and flooding. Direct impacts on commercial property and infrastructure

can lead to production shortfalls. Further losses can occur if business continuity is lost

through disrupted supply of intermediate inputs from, or distribution to, other

businesses.(Lenzen,Malik,Daniels,Lam & Geschke, 2019).

Tropical cyclones create an impact on the intensity of changes in employment

remuneration in the primary industry, and the impact in the secondary industry is

greater than that in the tertiary industry,In the short term, the impact of tropical

cyclones on employment is negative and the impact intensity is strong, whereas in the

medium and long terms, the impact is positive and the intensity of impact decreases.

(Wu,Xu,Liu,Guo & Zhou, 2019).

Hurricanes were found to have a negative impact on employment outcomes,

with a larger effect in low-income countries and for short-term studies. The type

and intensity of the hurricane affected the impact on employment, with the greatest

effects seen for storms with winds above 130 km/h. Employment outcomes were

also more strongly affected in regions with higher rates of informal employment.
