Annual deaths and property loss have declined with the ability to monitor conditions and build models from data that can help predict eruptions, blast waves, pyroclastic/lava flows, and ash/gas generated. The link also doesn't really address the significant toll massive eruptions like Toba or mantle plumes from flood basalts in igneous provinces(e.g. half of Siberia's crustal layer collapsing into a sea of magma). liphttam - Population density isn't a big factor at present with due exception to those volcanoes that have a past event measuring exclusivity index of 7 or 8.

Most spectacular, maybe, but I'd guess droughts are far more deadly in terms of human death. Or plagues, but perhaps that doesn't count as natural. "Most dangerous natural castrophe" based on what?
