According to the
report, total insured losses are expected to range from US$2.

Atlantic and Indian oceans and examines historical tsunamis and their
main causes, including earthquakes, landslides, volcanic activity,
meteor impacts and man-made explosions.

With three major events in the past 150 years, the Indian
Ocean faces a high incidence of tsunamis, with potentially
devastating effects.
