Observations
Landslides, earthquakes, and floods all
show high mortality deciles (particularly for the southeast);
however, their respective GDP weighted impacts are confined
to the lower deciles with the exception of floods in the southern
edge of the country. This may suggest that the communities
most vulnerable to these hazards tend to be poorer thus affecting
a smaller proportion of GDP when a disaster occurs.
