How does predicting a typhoon prevent billions in damage?

It could save thousands of lives because people can be evacuated if you can predict a few hours or a day further ahead, or the path more accurately. You can save some damage by moving ships and vehicles.

But you can't evacuate buildings or infrastructure.
