Despite ongoing safety efforts, construction sites experience a concerningly high accident rate. Notwithstanding that policies and research to reduce the risk of accidents in the construction industry have been active for a long time, the accident rate in the construction industry is considerably higher than in other industries. This trend may likely be further exacerbated by the rapid growth of large-scale construction projects driven by urban population expansion.

Climate crises such as extreme weather events, natural disasters and climate change caused by climate transformations are causing much damage worldwide enough to be called a climate catastrophe. The private sector and the government across industries are making every effort to prevent and limit the increasing damage, but the results have yet to meet market demand. Therefore, this study proposes a method that uses a deep learning algorithm to predict the damage caused by typhoons.
