Southeast Asia is among the regions most prone to natural disasters, but its people also feel the best equipped to deal with them.

Forty percent of people surveyed in Southeast Asia said they had experienced a natural disaster in the past five years .

But 67% of Southeast Asians felt among the best prepared to protect their families and 62% had emergency plans.

Survey by Gallup for the Lloyd's Register Foundation shows that's not always the case in other regions.
