Munich Re’s natural catastrophe database NatCatSERVICE® records between 600 and 900 events every year. Depending on their financial and human impact, events are assigned to one of seven categories — from a simple natural event with very little economic impact to a great natural catastrophe. Our evaluations and statistics do not consider pure natural events (catastrophe category 0).
