I think two things people over look are secondary effects of a tragedy. For example, a tsunami, or disease that results from inadequate sanitation. These can both claim many lives - even more than an initial earthquake.

1. I'd guess it's emergency services not being ready and equipped for such a mass natural disaster - thousands of lives are lost that could have been saved just because the services aren't ready for such a disaster.

2. In recent disasters in the aftermass thousands and thousands dyed because they couldn't get clean water and disease flourished in the crowded unclean environment.

Fire is the number one cause. Another is construction/building failure.
