this risk layer remained largely invisible. However, since 2007, a sustained effort to assist countries in systematically recording local disaster losses (UNISDR, 2009a
UNISDR. 2009a,Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction: Risk and Poverty in a Changing Climate, Geneva, Switzerland: UNISDR.. . Table 4.1 shows that 99.1 per cent of the local-level loss reports from these 85 countries and states are manifestations of extensive risk, with 96.4
per cent resulting from weather-related events. The economic losses from extensive disasters account for more than 45 per cent of total accumulated loss.
Across these countries, extensive disasters are responsible for only 14 per cent of total disaster mortality. However, since 1990 extensive mortality has increased almost fourfold in those countries that have consistent data spanning that period (Figure 4.3), and the trend is statistically significant.
