annual average economic loss of USD 25 million (0.55 per cent of GDP).

Geophysical Data Center, the country has experienced an economic loss of
about USD 5 million during the last 33 years due to earthquake. The loss due
to flood is very high, at USD 354 million. UNDP statistics show that 17,784
people were exposed to flood. The annual average number of deaths due to all
hazards in the country was 13 people.
