The majority of building damage in the Tambora eruption scenario occurs in areas receiving ash falls of 200 – 500 mm of ash. The same area represents roughly 2% of the total number of buildings. Contribution to the total damage in areas receiving <10 mm of ash (86% of buildings) are negligible and damage in areas receiving >1000 mm (<1% of buildings) and 10–50 mm (10% of buildings) add only a few percent to the total. The regional names in the figure are indicative only – refer to Fig. 8
