Which Countries Are Most at Risk From Natural Disasters? (2026)

In this video, we show the natural disaster risk in every country using an animated world map. Discover how countries around the world compare in their exposure to natural hazards such as earthquakes, floods, tropical cyclones, droughts, wildfires, volcanic activity, and other extreme events. The map highlights the global distribution of natural disaster risk, from countries with relatively low risk to areas facing much higher levels of exposure and vulnerability. This video is based on publicly available disaster risk data and international assessments. Natural disaster risk can vary depending on the types of hazards considered, population exposure, vulnerability, and the methodology used to measure risk. The map therefore represents an overall comparison rather than the likelihood of a specific disaster occurring in each country. 🟣 Very High Risk 🔴 High Risk 🟠 Medium Risk 🟢 Low Risk
