Center For Hazards & Risk Research
This platform offers a comprehensive collection of core data sets related to Natural Disaster Hotspots – A Global Risk Analysis. These data sets are freely available for download and include information on hazard frequency, distribution, mortality risks, and economic loss deciles for various natural disasters. The data is provided in common GIS-compatible formats to facilitate research and analysis.
The Center For Hazards & Risk Research provides freely available core data sets from its "Natural Disaster Hotspots - A Global Risk Analysis" project. These comprehensive data sets are essential for understanding and mitigating the impacts of natural hazards worldwide.
Each data archive includes an ASCII text file of the raster data set (.asc), detailed metadata (.htm), and projection information (.prj). Where applicable, a dBase table (.dbf) is also included, designed to be joined to the raster data for enhanced analysis. Users can leverage these files in various GIS platforms following their software documentation.
The available data covers hazard frequency and distribution, hazard mortality risks and distribution, and hazard total economic loss risk deciles. Specific hazards addressed include cyclones, droughts, earthquakes (including peak ground acceleration), floods, landslides, and volcanoes, along with multihazard analyses. This resource is invaluable for researchers, policymakers, and disaster management professionals globally.
