The total amount of damage reported in2009 was the third lowest of the decade, after 2001 and 2006.Inversely, in Oceania, the amount of damages was the third highest of thedecade, after 2002 and 2008.In 2009, Europe accounted for 26 per cent of damage, above its 15 per centaverage of the decade.Very high human development countries experienced 59 per cent of damage in2009, compared to 64 per cent for the entire decade.Inversely, the contribution of medium human development countries to thetotal amount of damages climbed to 34 per cent, up from 30 per cent for thedecade.Windstorm Klaus, in France, was the costliest disaster in 2009 (more than US$3 billion reported damages), but it appears only at the 51st place in the rankingof the most expensive disasters.ANNEX 1World Disasters Report 2010 – Disaster data169
