In the context of global climate change and economic integration, the catastrophes, which are caused by typhoon occur frequently and bring a great loss to the whole world in the aspect of population, economy and others. As a result, the typhoon catastrophes pose a great threat to regional security. Some secondary disasters such as storm surges, floods, landslides and debris flows, which are triggered by typhoon, constitute disaster chains with an accumulative and amplified effect on disaster losses. According to disaster system theory, this paper proposes a classification system of global typhoon disaster chains with cases data from 2000 to 2010 that is collected from internet and media report, based on the characteristics of hazard-formative environment that typhoons pass over. Then it makes the classified statistics of disaster chains on type and intensity, and obtains regional features of six ocean areas in the world by classifying and analyzing case data. Result of regional features on type and intensity show that: in the Northwest Pacific Ocean region, typhoon disaster chains mainly occur in mountainous (or hilly) areas, the total proportion of disaster chains type can be 34.4%, and the intensity of disaster chains can be 3.1. In the South Pacific Ocean region, typhoon disaster chains mainly occur in the insular area, the total proportion of disaster chains type can be 59.2%, and the intensity of disaster chains can be 2.6 to 3.0. In the North India Ocean region, typhoon disaster chains mainly occur in the estuarine coastal area, the total proportion of disaster chains type can be 35.8%, and the intensity of disaster chains can be 0.7 to 0.9. In South India Ocean region, typhoon disaster chains mainly occur in the plain area, the total proportion of disaster chains type can be 31%, and the intensity of disaster chains can be 2.6. In the North Atlantic Ocean region and Northeast Pacific Ocean region, typhoon disaster chains occur mainly in the plain coastal area. In addition, the total proportion of North Atlantic Ocean can be 24.7%, and the intensity of disaster chains can be 2.0 to 2.3, the total proportion of Northeast Pacific Ocean can be 31.2%, and the intensity of disaster chains can be 2.3. This research can provide a theoretical basis for automatic recognition, dynamic simulation and forecast of typhoon disaster chains in the world to support infrastructure construction of regional disaster prevention, and help to make regional strategies of disaster mitigation and emergency responses or rescue.
