  According to the Nature magazine, the team led by Maxx Dilley of the World Bank broke down most of the globe into 8 million grid cells of about 25 square kilometres each.
  ...
  And these simple data sets do not reflect different countries' population densities and wealth, which affect their vulnerability, said Maxx Dilley of Columbia University, the lead author of the study.

  Strategies for minimizing the impact of disasters include strengthening building codes, instituting early warning systems and, in the case of drought, using seasonal climate predictions, said Maxx Dilley, a research scientist at Columbia's International Research Institute for Climate Prediction and one of the authors of the report.
  
  "What we would like to see happen is countries managing the risks instead of managing emergencies," Dilley said.
  ...
  But since underdeveloped countries have other problems such as AIDS and poverty, "the fact that you're on a fault line or in an area where El Nino makes the climate very variable just may not be the most pressing thing on your screen," Dilley said.

  Maxx Dilley, the report's lead author and a scientist at Columbia's International Research Institute for Climate Prediction, said the motivation behind the four-year effort was to use the idea of foreseeable risk to avoid some portion of future damages.The report does not provide an absolute assessment of risk, such as calculating the chance of dying in a flood or earthquake, but tries to provide a snapshot of relative risks based on past economic damage and deaths.
  
  Dilley and other authors conceded that biases are possible since the report relies on official accounts and media reports for much of its data.
  
  Nevertheless, Dilley said he was surprised by the geographical extent of flooding-associated risks around the world, while Plessis-Fraissard said she was most struck by a tabulation of all natural disaster-related deaths between 1980 and 2000.Topping the list were deaths from drought, accounting for more than 560,000 of the 1.2 million death toll.
  
  "That is not a nice death, death by starvation," she said.
