Couverture du Committee on Assessing the Costs of Natural Disasters & Division on Earth and Life Studies: Impacts of Natural Disasters (PDF)

We have no formal system in either the public or private sector for compiling this information. The National Academies recommends what types of data should be assembled and tracked.
