Strictly under embargo until Wednesday 22 September at 00:01 GMT (02:01 Geneva time)1VHHD stands for very high human development, HHD stands for high humandevelopment, MHD for medium human development and LHD for low humandevelopment.See note on UNDP’s Human Development Index country status in the section ondisaster definitions in the introduction to this annex.2Includes waves and surges.3Landslides, rockfalls, subsidence of geophysical origin.4Landslides, avalanches, subsidence of hydrological origin.Note: ’n.a.’ signifies ’no data available’; ’n.d.r.’ signifies ’no disaster reported’.For more information, see section on caveats in introductory text.Estimates of disaster damage must be treated with caution, as the financialvalue attached to infrastructures in developed countries is much higher thanin developing countries. While reporting is better for large disasters, the lowreporting rates of direct damage make analysis difficult.During the decade:Americas accounted for 43 per cent of the reported damages but for 89 percent of costs related to volcanic eruptions and 73 per cent of those relatedto windstorms.Asia accounted for 39 per cent of the reported damages but for 100 per centof those caused by transport accidents, 90 per cent of costs relatedto earthquakes / tsunamis, 56 per cent of those caused by extreme temperaturesand 46 per cent of those caused by floods.Europe accounted for 15 per cent of the reported damages but for 90 percent of those caused by industrial accidents, 76 per cent of those related tomiscellaneous accidents, 40 per cent of those caused by extreme temperatures,36 per cent of those caused by wild fires and 35 per cent of those caused byfloods.Africa accounted for 1 per cent of the reported damages but for 6 per cent ofthose caused by industrial accidents and 6 per cent of those caused by volcaniceruptions.Oceania accounted also for 1 per cent of the reported damages but for 9 percent of those caused by droughts and 8 per cent of those caused by wild fires.Very high human development countries accounted for 64 per cent of allreported damages and low human development countries for less than1 per cent.ANNEX 1World Disasters Report 2010 – Disaster data181
