Table 4.1 Extensive and intensive risk impacts summary for 56 countries and 2 Indian states (1981–2011)
Figure 4.4 Extensive risk direct economic losses per municipality, in Honduras (left, 1981–2011) and in Uganda (right, 1991–2011)
losses recorded in the datasets. In countries that do not experience large-scale disasters, this figure may be much higher.
Losses associated with extensive risk, as in the example for Honduras and Uganda below, are spread over the entire country, affecting all municipalities (Figure 4.4).
The agricultural sector is one of the most affected by extensive risks, as initially highlighted by GAR11
with data from Mozambique. These impacts are further confirmed in the case of Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Government of Lao People’s Democratic Republic, 2012) and Lebanon (Figure 4.5).
Economic losses associated with extensive risk are also increasing rapidly in the 34 new country datasets included in this report ii and are consistent with the findings of GAR09 and GAR11 (Figure 4.6). Damage to educational facilities in particular is rising rapidly.
