INTRODUCTION

Context and objectives

General characteristics of the region under study

Study plan

PART I - THE CONSEQUENCES OF NATURAL DISASTERS IN SOUTH EAST ASIA AND BANGLADESH

(introduction...)

1. Overall assessment of natural disasters (events, human implications)

2. Economic consequences

PART II - NATURAL HAZARDS AND DISASTERS: DISTRIBUTION AND FREQUENCES

1. Types of natural hazards and their distribution

2. Disaster frequency and distribution

PART III - ASSESSING VULNERABILITY CRITERIA AND GLOBAL RISK LEVELS

1. Analysis of the vulnerability criteria (figure 30)

1.1. Socio-economic indicators (wealth, health and education)

1.2. Demographic indicators (population density and growth)

1.3. Synthesis

2. Global risk levels (figure 33)

PART IV - SYNOPTIC ASSESSMENT OF NATURAL HAZARDS ON A NATIONAL SCALE

(introduction...)

1. Criteria used to identify territories prone to risks

(introduction...)

1.1. Hazards

1.2. Different population types and consequences as concerns vulnerability

2. Five types of territories prone to risks

(introduction...)

2.1. Deltas

2.2. Inland basins

2.3. Coastal plains

2.4. Coastal mountains

2.5. Inland mountains

3. National distribution of the territories prone to risks

4. From a typological to a hierarchical classification of the territories prone to risks
