Extreme temperatures (7 per cent) and mass movements of hydrological origin (9 per cent) surpassed their decade’s average (6 and 5 per cent, respectively). All other natural disasters were sligthly below their decade’s average. Among technological disasters, transport accidents were the most frequent, but their number was the lowest of the decade. The number of miscellaneous accidents was also the lowest of the decade. 1 Since slow-onset disasters can affect the same country over a number of years, it is best to use figures on total numbers to calculate annual averages over a decade rather than as absolute totals (see the methodology chapter of this annex). 2 Includes waves and surges. 3 Landslides, rockfalls, subsidence of geophysical origin. 4 Landslides, avalanches, subsidence of hydrological origin. Note: ’n.d.r.’ denotes ‘no disaster reported’. In 2009, the number of both natural and technological disasters was the lowest of the decade, far below their peak of 2005.
