In recent years, the impacts of natural disaster are more and more severe on coastal lowland areas. With the threats of climate change and sea level rise, the reduction of natural disasters in coastal lowland areas receives increased attention. Based on a number of literature sources, this paper summarizes the categories and characteristic of natural disasters emerging in coastal lowland areas, such as windstorm and storm surge, tropical cyclones and tropical cyclone winds, tsunamis and floods, and analyzes the most devastating natural disasters in coastal lowland throughout the world in 2005. This paper also summarizes the effects of typhoons on the coastal lowland areas of China in 2005 and analyzes the natural disaster mitigation measures and research results.
