“The list is headed by Bangladesh and the Philippines, which along with Myanmar are considered to be at ‘extreme’ risk.

The ‘Natural Hazards Risk Atlas’ looks at the impact of natural disasters on a country relative to its economy, taking into account preparedness to deal with such events and social ability to rebound. If a country’s infrastructure is weak and its governance is poor, the economic consequences are that much greater.” [Kleptocracy is the common factor]
