While reporting is better for large disasters, the lowreporting rates of direct damage make analysis difficult.The costliest disasters of the decade were windstorms (51.6 per cent), floods(19 per cent) and earthquakes / tsunamis (18.5 per cent).In 2009, hydrometeorological disasters accounted for 85 per cent of reporteddamages, with windstorms accounting for 59 per cent.Damages reported for droughts and floods were the second lowest of thedecade.The proportion of damages attributable, in 2009, to windstorms (59 per centof reported damages) was higher than their decennial average (52 per cent).ANNEX 1World Disasters Report 2010 – Disaster data173
