2. A)

The economic impacts of a tropical cyclone could be the loss of income, this means that people who grow food crops and harvests but are wiped out by storm surges of torrential rain. A long term effect of this is with the destruction of crops people will have no trade so they would have no money. This makes it harder to rebuild after a cyclone. Economic impacts relate to money and the loss of it.

Other social impacts, which remain unaccounted for, are on education and culture, health and nutrition, labour and employment and social services. Aside from the total or partial damage to school-buildings are the lost school hours during typhoons or when school houses are used as evacuation centre, the lost opportunity to continue one’s studies due to loss of income, etc. The impact on health could be measured to some extent through mortality rates during disasters, which are closely related to infectious diseases that to a large extent depend on the quality of water consumed and to access to adequate sanitation services. Some third order impacts may result after the occurrence of disasters, such as increased burden on urban resources due to migration displaced local workers to the cities for jobs, increased dependence on government subsidies, worsening the poverty situation, etc.
