چکیده
While estimated losses from disasters are notoriously poor with many real costs hidden or uncounted, it is clear that the global toll from disasters is extremely high. Noji for instance, estimated global losses to be $23 billion per annum, (17) while CRED put the cost of natural catastrophes between 1991 and 2000 at US$78.7 billion per year (2000 base-levels). (3) However, these figures usually reflect only direct losses accruing from the physical destruction of goods and appurtenances, leaving indirect and intangible losses out of the equation.
