EM-DAT , the international disaster database, is perhaps the most comprehensive one available. It is helpful, needed, and welcome, with gratitude and kudos those who set it up, maintain it, and support it. They even removed the category "natural disaster" to keep it consistent with disaste
Yes, it is this report https://library.wmo.int/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=21930#.Y7Rz_OzP1mq with the press release at https://public.wmo.int/en/media/press-release/weather-related-disasters-increase-over-past-50-years-causing-more-damage-fewer
The analysis is based on data from EM-DAT which has numerous problems. I detail some at https://engelsbergideas.com/essays/when-disaster-strikes meaning that I am cautious about the trends described.
More details on understanding and tabulating disaster deaths are at https://engelsbergideas.com/essays/when-disaster-strikes
Thoughts are welcome!
