Calculations are based on results of the UNISDR Global Risk Assessment for earthquakes, tropical cyclone wind and storm surge, and tsunami. Estimates of losses from flood events were generated by fitting empirical loss observations to parametric loss curves. These results should not be used for in-depth national analysis. For further information on the methodology, see GAR 13 paperWilliges et al., 2014

Information provided by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in support of GAR15. The simulations were carried out with JICA’s improved DR2AD model, an economic model that allows policymakers to assess the impacts of disasters and the benefits of disaster risk reduction investments at different points in time.

A similar calculation was performed for the 2009 Global Assessment Report; the findings from that time have been confirmed using 5 additional years of new data and the analysis has been updated.
