Swiss Re, a global reinsurance company,
has analyzed the
disaster potential for 616 of the world’s largest cities (PDF).
Each city is ranked according to its potential
for earthquakes, storms, storm surges, tsunamis, and river floods. For each
type of disaster, Swiss Re devised an extreme weather scenario in
which defenses fail and the human and economic toll can be enormous.
