Benson and Clay of the London based Overseas Development Institute were the principal researchers for this three-year study, initiated to investigate the short- and long-term economic and financial consequences of natural disasters and their public policy implications. The study relies in part on in-depth case studies of overalls sensitivity to natural hazards in the island of Dominica, public finance consequences of disasters in Bangladesh, and the economic consequences of climatic change and climatic forecasting in Malawi and southern Africa. The authors argue that natural hazard risk management should be integrated into longer-term national investment and development strategies and the basis for funding risk management plans should be expanded.
