Background:

Disasters impact nations unequally, with significant disparities in human cost.
Previous analyses often focus on disaster occurrence rather than differential mortality.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze the disparity in average disaster death tolls between Japan and Peru.
To identify the key factor contributing to higher mortality in certain disaster contexts.

Main Methods:

Comparative analysis of disaster fatality data.
Examination of socioeconomic factors influencing vulnerability.

Main Results:

Average disaster death toll in Japan: 63 people.

Average disaster death toll in Peru: 2,900 people.

Disparities are linked to socioeconomic vulnerability.

Conclusions:

Vulnerability is the critical determinant of disaster-induced mortality.
Poorer countries and populations face disproportionately higher risks and death tolls from disasters.
