Compiling and making meaningful the data from the World Risk Index, Landgeist has published a map showing the highest natural disaster risk worldwide and how these countries will be affected by natural disasters. The published map offers a striking result, especially for Turkey. According to the research, Turkey is among the “low risk” countries in terms of experiencing natural disasters and being affected by these disasters.
The data of the World Risk Index on natural disasters is formed on two main points. The first of these is the situation of a country against a natural disaster based on geographical and climatic conditions. So it’s completely natural. The second is how vulnerable that country is to natural disasters. It is at this point that the fire extinguishing planes, which we have been discussing a lot for a while, come into play. In this factor, the index measures how and how quickly a country can take action against disasters, how well it performs in areas such as shelter and food, poverty rate, and medical services.
Here is the natural disaster risk map of the world
According to data compiled by Landgeist, Turkey is in the same position as many European countries, as well as superpowers such as Russia and the USA. The countries at increased risk are mostly in Asia and Africa. We can say that a significant part of South America is also very high risk.
When we look closely at the data, we see that Vanuatu is the most risky country against natural disasters in the world. This country is an island country located in the Pacific Ocean. The country with the lowest risk is Qatar. Investigations reveal that the risk of natural disasters is low in the country located in the Persian Gulf. Of course, the fact that the country is also economically developed enables rapid response to rare natural disasters. . .
