Percentages aside, I see two catagories for each disaster.
1. Those that will directly impact me. This meaning (for example) that I experience XXX disaster for XXX days and need to function somewhat normally.
2. Those that will indirectly impact me. This meaning (for example) that others experience XXX disaster for XXX days and need to function somewhat normally so they move into my geographical area and begin using resourses that no one here was prepared for them to use.
Clearly, disaster type 1 will be easier to deal with as there are several options. Disaster type 2 presents several issues that are pretty evident and therefore will be exponentially more difficult to deal with.
