Disaster risk profile: Belarus
Belarus' population and economy are exposed to earthquakes and floods, with floods posing the greater risk. The model results for present-day risk shown in this risk profile are based on population and gross domestic product (GDP) estimates for 2015.
This risk profile provides a preliminary view of disaster risk at the national level, and distribution of risk across regions of the country and types of assets. It enables the identification and prioritization of risk, to guide risk management activities and identify the need for further, more detailed risk assessment.
