I have found independent variables related to natural, political, economic, social, cultural, and environment factors from other studies and government data in 2008. I have selected dependent variable from 230 counties regarding the damage data from 1999 to 2008. Independent variables are divided into vulnerability and capacity factors. Vulnerability factors cause more damage and capacity factors prevent damage when disaster strikes. Vulnerability factors include forest area(%), non-urban area(%), infrastructure area(%) and capacity factors include forest resources(%), urban tree area, social welfare budget(%), medical agency(%), and urbanization(%). There are two vulnerability factors including forest area(%) and infrastructure area(%) at 5% significance and there are three capacity factors including forest resources(%), urban tree area, medical agency(%) at 5% significance. As a result of this paper, we can reduce damages by searching for and improving vulnerability and capacity variables in our community and society.
