Impact of disasters on people’s welfare, in terms of lives and injuries is difficult to quantify. Damage assessment therefore mostly focuses on socio-economic and environmental damages. The losses of assets and their impact on flows of goods and services vary according to local circumstances and the time, strength and duration of the disastrous event.
