AB The growing impact of major disasters on OECD and non-member economies has stimulated a demand for an in-depth evaluation of possible strategies to reduce their large-scale damaging effects. Dramatic events such as the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina in the United States in 2005, and the earthquake that struck China’s Sichuan Province in 2008, have brought the financial management of catastrophic risks once again to the forefront of the public policy agenda globally.
