             Description

             Rationale /        According to UNISDR, a natural hazard or disaster is, a natural process or
             Interpretation /   phenomenon that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property
             Benchmarking       damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or
                                environmental damage.
                                The attractiveness of cities for citizens and investors alike is affected by the
                                frequency and magnitude of natural disasters occurring within a city and a city’s
                                ability to respond. The natural disaster related losses of lives in the past can be
                                indicative of a city’s potential future exposure.
                                The city shall report on the number of deaths attributed to natural disasters such as
                                floods, earthquakes, landslide, heat waves, tsunamis, hurricanes, etc.
                                A declining trend and lower values are considered positive.
