    4. Disaster risk is intensively concentrated
    5. it’s unevenly distributed….. 22.5 million exposed per year GDPcap. US$31,267 HDI =0.953 Mortality ratio = 1 16 million exposed per year GDP cap. US$5,137 HDI = 0.771 Mortality ratio = 17
    6. …… is increasing globally
    7. and….. hits small countries hardest.
