MAP: Cyclone Risk Hotspots (Global)
18 Sep 2008
 Source: Maplecroft
This map shows cyclone risk hotspots based on the interaction of extreme and significant cyclone hazard with high overall human vulnerability. Also shown are areas with significant or extreme cyclone hazard but lower human vulnerability. Projections from climate models were not used to identify cyclone risk hotspots because the effect of climate change on future cyclone distribution remains highly uncertain.
