costliest-ever disasterThe Japanese government said that thismonths tsunami which has killed over 9000 people sofar may have caused damages of upto $309 billion(nearly Rs.13.85 lakh crore) making it the largest-evernatural catastrophe in terms of economic damage.

So far the record was held by Huricane Karina,which is said to have caused damages of around $75billion. The first official estimates from Japan mean thatthe tsunami's economic impact is nearly four times thatof Katrina.

At this scale, the damage caused by the
