Table 3: Distribution of total, natural, and man-made (technological) disasters by country (1900–2024). Natural disasters include events such as earthquakes, floods, droughs, storms, and other environmental phenomena (Table 3 and Figures 4-6). These events are often influenced by geographical and climatic factors unique to each country. China ranks first in natural disasters with 1012 events (50.70% of its total), primarily including floods, storms, and droughs. The USA had the second-highest number of natural disaster events with 1152 (76.14% of its total), with major events being epidemics, storms, and floods.
