This statistic presents the estimate for the average annual loss incurred due to natural disasters in France as of 2015, listed by hazard. The annual loss due to floods was expected to amount to approximately three billion U.S. dollars on average, while the loss caused by earthquakes was estimated to equal just over 500 million U.S. dollars. Comparatively small losses were also predicted for tsunami and cyclonic wind occurrences.

The source adds further comments: "AAL: The Average Annual Loss is the expected loss per annum associated to the occurrence of future perils assuming a very long observation timeframe. It considers the damage caused on the exposed elements by small, moderate and extreme events and results a useful and robust metric for risk ranking and comparisons. AAL Flood results are provisional. These results give an overview of the risk associated with river flooding. Factors other than the depth of the water also have a considerable influence on loss, which means that there is greater uncertainty compared with other hazards."
