<P> The costs of disasters vary considerably depending on a range of factors, such as the geographical location where they occur . When a disaster occurs in a densely populated area in a wealthy country, the financial damage might be huge, but when a comparable disaster occurs in a densely populated area in a poorer country, the actual financial damage might be relatively small, in part due to a lack of insurance . For example, the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, with a death toll of over 230,000 people, cost a' mere' $15 billion, whereas in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, in which 11 people died, the damages were six-fold . </P> <P> Note: All damage figures are listed in billions of United States dollars . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="9"> List of disasters by cost </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Cost in
