Abstract: Tropical cyclone, a natural disaster which may cause huge damages to human beings, has direct and indirect impacts on human health in various ways. It can cause direct casualties through gales, heavy rains and storm tides, and can also indirectly increase mortality and disability rate, incidence of infectious and chronic diseases, through house and health facility damage, movement of population, water pollution, and grain yield reduction. In addition, it can cause psychological and mental damage. Adaptive measures need to be taken both before and after landing of tropical cyclone in order to reduce its impacts on human health.

Key words: Tropical cyclone, Infectious diseases, Chronic diseases, Mental health
