“…However, municipalities of classes A1, A2 and A3, only 3%, 14.1% and 20.5%, respectively, declared the existence of PMRR. An estimative of 88.41% of municipalities supported by federal resources are capitals or large municipalities, as one of the selection criteria is the greatest number of people beneficiated with the measures (Caixeta and Masiero, 2016). Besides, federal investments for informal settlements, from 2000 to 2010, have been effective for improving the urban infrastructure and were focused even so for the largest cities, to the detriment of the small and medium-sized cities (D'Ottaviano and Pasternak, 2015), despite the fact that in many of them the percentage of population in risk areas exceeds 40% of their total.…”

Purpose This paper aims to shed some light on the distribution of population, living in disaster risk areas in Brazil, on the intra-urban scale. The following three aspects are evaluated in this paper: the distribution of exposed population according to municipal size classification; the population density in disaster risk areas; and the municipal human development classification for the municipalities with disaster risk areas. Design/methodology/approach This research is based on an explorative approach. The main database used is a result of the association of landslide and flood risk areas to demographic census, available for 825 Brazilian municipalities. Additional databases were integrated to characterize disaster risk management and municipal human development. Findings The results revealed that the population exposed to disaster areas is concentrated within the capitals and small cities in the country. Moreover, disaster risk areas are densely populated even in small cities, suggesting that it is a reality faced not only by the larger cities. Finally, disaster risk areas exist even inside municipalities with a high level of human development. Practical implications These findings could contribute to the understanding of the spatialisation of disaster risk in Brazil, a primordial step for the reduction of human losses. Originality/value A novel perspective about the Brazilian population exposed to disaster risk was obtained, revealing a current issue faced by the municipalities independent of the size classification and level of human development.
