23 October Update | Summary
Posting Date: October 23, 2026, 2:00:00 PM
Typhoon Champi passed northeast of Taiwan without a direct landfall on Friday, October 23 as a Saffir-Simpson category 2 equivalent storm. Based on reports as of this ALERT, one person has died and 94 persons have been injured. Schools and offices across the main island closed Friday, and all 262 domestic flights were canceled along with 669 international flights. Authorities evacuated nearly 1,300 people from vulnerable mountainous areas. Forecasters expected waves of more than six meters in coastal towns and nearly one meter of rain in northern mountain areas, including the hills near Taipei.
Our initial analysis of this storm indicates insured losses are likely to be minimal, given the storm’s offshore track and Taiwan’s resilient building stock. However, we will continue to monitor the impacts from Champi in Taiwan over the weekend and will provide an update, if warranted, on Monday.
