Natural Disaster Risk by Country

Ranked by the World Risk Index — exposure to floods, storms, earthquakes and sea-level rise, multiplied by how vulnerable the society is when they hit. Exposure you can't change; vulnerability is a policy outcome, which is why two islands in the same cyclone belt can sit fifty places apart.

A ranking can't weigh what matters to you.

One table, one metric. Your decision has a budget, a timeline and dealbreakers — the matcher asks about those, then answers with this same data.
