Floods were the most frequent events (n = 492), while earthquakes ranked second overall (n = 52). Southern Europe recorded the highest number of deaths, whereas Eastern Europe had the highest number of injuries. Overall, the examined events caused 3,547 deaths and 14,470 injuries.

However, most fatalities and injuries resulted from a few severe floods and earthquakes with distinct geographic patterns. Because event frequency does not directly reflect harm to humans, these findings further highlight the importance of an all-hazard approach to emergency planning; disaster preparedness should align resilience strategies with regional hazard profiles, population vulnerability, and health-system capacity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/dmp.2026.10453","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,21]],"date-time":"2026-10-21T08:50:22Z","timestamp":1792572622000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Geophysical and Hydrological Hazard-Related Disasters in Europe, 2000-2025: A Retrospective Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-6536-8316","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Filippo","family":"Sanna","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Servizio Emergenza Territoriale AUSL Bologna"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-0735-3733","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leonardo","family":"Capitanio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Servizio Emergenza Territoriale AUSL Ferrara"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-5976-0764","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roberto","family":"Pieralli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Servizio Emergenza Territoriale AUSL Bologna"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1935789326104534_r36","unstructured":"36.
