Disaster Costs in SEE:
Between 1999 and 2009
The estimated loss in South Eastern Europe is around 34.425.270.000 $
Total number of people affected is
8.022.050,
The death toll:
23.864
“For natural disasters during the last decade, data on deaths aremissing in about 10 per
cent of the disasters; around 20 per cent lack information on the total number of people
affected, and about 70 per cent do not cover economic damages”
Vacuum effect: are not lim
ited to the first impact, the consecutive secondary after
effects, such as loss of jobs, diversion of business interest, social and psychological
effects usually creates a “vacuum effect”in the disaster hit areas and destroy the lives of
inhabitants in long term
as well
