Yeah i always wonder two things with regards to these sort(s) of situations.
First how easy is it to get accurate disaster reporting/census numbers in such undeveloped and non-open countries.
And two, if it is a higher number how likely is it that the autocratic governement will either acknowledge or release such info?
cheers. I'm in Korea now so if someone wants to link it to the front page that would be great. my team updated our site and treethugger did an interview a few hours ago.
