The statistical methods of disaster analysis -- The heavy-tail distributions and their properties -- The contribution of maximum effect to the total, summarized effect under different distributions -- The stable approach to the risk assessment: estimation of quantiles of maximum effect -- Non-stationary natural processes, the “operational time” method -- The comparative study of disaster statistics for various natural disasters -- Earthquakes (energy, ground acceleration) -- Floods, hurricanes (victims, overall economic losses, insured losses) -- Tornadoes (victims, overall economic losses, insured losses).
The study of disaster statistics and disaster occurrence is a complicated interdisciplinary field involving the interplay of new theoretical findings from several scientific fields like mathematics, physics, and computer science. Statistical studies on the mode of occurrence of natural disasters largely rely on fundamental findings in the statistics of rare events, which were derived in the 20th century. With regard to natural disasters, it is not so much the fact that the importance of this problem for mankind was recognized during the last third of the 20th century, - the myths one encounters in ancient civilizations show that the problem of disasters has always been recognized, - rather, it is the fact that mankind now possesses the necessary theoretical and practical tools to effectively study natural disasters, which in turn supports effective, major practical measures to minimize their impact. All the above factors have resulted in considerable progress in natural disaster research. Substantial accrued
