Puting beliung, or small-scale tornadoes, pose significant threats to infrastructure and human lives in tropical island environments. This study analyzes the socioeconomic impacts of these extreme weather events in Indonesia over a 15-year period from 2010 to 2024. A database of incidents was compiled by collecting reports from government agencies, scientific journals, online media, and YouTube, applying a multi-layered filtering method to verify 267 confirmed incidents. The epicenter of this extreme weather phenomenon is concentrated on the island of Java (63.3%), with peak activity occurring during the rainy season in most parts of Indonesia (December through February). Nationwide, these whirlwinds caused 184 fatalities and total economic losses of 25.8 million USD, with residential damage accounting for approximately 66% of the total losses. Over the study period, overall impacts increased substantially, with a 225% increase in fatalities and a 189% increase in infrastructure damage. These findings highlight the growing severity of tropical tornado impacts and demonstrate the critical need for public education in vulnerable areas. The results provide a scientific foundation for enhancing early warning systems, recommending wind-resistant building standards in highrisk regions, and offering a valuable analytical framework for other tropical island nations facing similar risks.
