Countries in all regions have been successful in strengthening their capacities to address the mortality risk associated with major weather-related hazards such as floods. Despite the increasing number of people living in floodplains, mortality risk relative to population size is now trending down. In East Asia and the Pacific mortality risk is now at a third of its 1980 level (UNISDR, 2011).
