Abstract: Natural disaster is a natural event like earthquake, flood, landslide or hurricane, which leads to significant human fatalities, damages to property and environment. This study looks into the determinants of the impact of natural disasters by considering the SAARC countries and India. The period of study ranges from 1960 to 2018 for the 8 SAARC countries and 28 Indian states using panel data analysis. The study indicates that variables like population density, urban population and education affect natural disaster fatalities.
