Work at Risk: Top 10 Cities Threatened With Disaster
Today's site, from the financial publication Bloomberg, offers a sobering look
at a study from a major international reinsurer assessing the prospective
danger of significant natural disasters occurring in global urban centers.
Gentle Subscribers will find a succinct account of the cities considered to be
most in jeopardy from a serious event.
"A new report by Swiss Re Ltd., the world's second-biggest reinsurer, ranks 616
metro areas by the value of working days at risk from five natural perils, as
well as by number of residents potentially affected. ... [S]ee whether your
city is among the most vulnerable. The areas are ranked by potential economic
impact." - from the website
Since this is an insurance analysis, the impact of major natural hazards is
focused through the perspective of productivity disruption causing anticipated
losses. The slideshow format provides a pristine photo of the most at risk
cities, their population numbers and their specific dangers. Discover the U.S.
cities which made this ill-omened list and the natural disaster which poses the
greatest threat. Addition information is available through links to further
details and the complete report in PDF.
