The estimated amount of economic damage came close to US$147 .4 billion.  \nIn 2016 , the earthquake that hit Ecuador in April brought about serious damages to the country. The disaster claimed nearly 670 people. The storm that hit the United States in January has the largest affected people in the world with over 85.0 million.  \nOn the other hand, the flood that hit China in June caused the largest economic damage worth US$2 .2 billion, which ranked the highest.  \nBy region, Asia is ranked the highest in the indices of disaster occurrences , the number of people killed and economic damage. Asia accounts for 45.1 percent in occurrences; number of people killed, 50.5 percent; and amount of economic damage, 49.5 percent. As for the number of people affected, Americas topped by 46.4 percent.  \nBy disaster types, flood is dominant in occurrence , killed, and economic damage at 45.7 percent, 45.3 percent, and 38.7 percent, respectively, while storm tops in number of people affected by 46.0 percent.  \nData Book 2016 also contains tables of the 25 worst disasters by number of people killed and total affected people, economic damage, and their respective ratios to population and gross domestic product. It also includes tables of 2016 disasters in Asian countries sorted by country and disaster type.  \n[Notes]  \nSource:  \nAll disaster data are based on D. Guha-Sapir, R. Below, Ph. Hoyois - EM-DAT: International Disaster Database – [www.emdat.be](www.emdat.be) – Université Catholique de Louvain – Brussels – Belgium. Data set was obtained on 21 December 2017 , unless otherwise stated.  \nEM-DAT Criteria:  \nFor a disaster to be entered into the database, at least one of the following criteria must be fulfilled:  \n•Ten (10) or more people reported killed  \n•Hundred (100) or more people reported affected  \n•Declaration of a state of emergency  \n•Call for international assistance.  \nIn this Data Book 2016 “killed people” are defined as persons confirmed as dead and persons missing and presumed dead. “Affected people”are the sum of injured, homeless, and affected in EM-DAT. EM-DAT defines affected people as people requiring immediate assistance during the period of emergency; it can also include displaced or evacuated people.  \nDisaster Terms:  \n“Animal accident” is that human encounters with dangerous or exotic animals in both urban and rural developments.  \n“Drought” includes an extended period of unusually low precipitation that produces a shortage of water for people, animals and plants.“Earthquake” includes ground shaking and tsunami.  \n“Epidemic” includes bacterial and viral infectious diseases.  \n“Extreme Temperature” includes heat wave, cold wave, and extreme winter conditions.  \n“Flood” includes general flood, and flash flood.“Landslide” includes avalanche, debris , and rockfall.  \n“Storm” includes local storm, tropical cyclone, and winter storm.  \n“Volcanic activity” includes volcanic eruption of lava, ash, hot vapour, gas, and pyroclastic material.  \n“Wildfire” includes bush/brush fire, forest fire, and scrub/grassland fire.  \nDisclaimer:  \nCountry and region classification used in this databook is based on EM-DAT criteria.  \n1.
