indeed @willial all that is true.

the increased availability of people to help in nearly every country town,

the magnificent equipment they have at their disposal,

the warning systems and weather predictability (well not quite but a massive advance on 1920's weather observation) and

rapid transport to places where help is needed

as well as communication access to call for help.

and better education for people to better prepare.

..... all combined have made an enormous difference to fatalities.

but the fact remains that we are seeing weather systems causing more deaths around the world. its not just better reporting.

And we are also seeing rising populations.

The more people exposed to any given extreme weather event, the more fatalities can be expected.
