Score breakdown

What shaped this score

Each dimension is scored separately out of 100.

Loss of life and injury100/100
People affected7/100
Living conditionsNot yet evidenced
Ongoing riskNot yet evidenced
Duration and relief accessNot yet evidenced
Wider societal impactNot yet evidenced

The strongest evidenced dimension establishes the base score. Separate human-impact dimensions can add a bounded share of the remaining headroom without double-counting the same harm.

The current fatality scale reaches 100 at 100 reported deaths. Since this headline reports 1,000, the loss component is capped at 100/100; the exact count still breaks ranking ties.
