Overview of Naming Conventions for Natural Disasters Across Regions
Natural disasters are named to aid communication and preparedness, often reflecting cultural significance or local languages. In the western North Pacific, typhoon names like Dim-Sum and Dolphin are contributed by regional members and may reference local culture or nature. Atlantic hurricanes use an alphabetical sequence of personal names, retiring some after severe storms. Earthquakes and volcanoes are typically named after locations, while tsunamis generally remain unnamed. Naming conventions vary by region and disaster type.
