Emergency Disasters Database (EM-DAT) The EM-DAT Emergency Disasters Database, maintained by the WHO Collaborating Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED), provides access to information concerning both natural and manmade disasters. Data extend throughout most of the 20th century and include but are not limited to disasters such as famine, wind storms, extreme temperature, industrial accidents, drought, and earthquakes. In addition to viewing the date and frequency of particular disaster types by country or region, the EM-DAT Database also generates the number of people affected, injured or killed and the estimated financial damage. in Countrieswith databaseeconomicsmapsnaturaldisasternewspopulationriskworldwide

And it shows how natural disasters could affect a country’s population or economy. The website maps mortality risk and economic loss risk, and lists disaster related projects by country. in Economic Research > Growth & Developmentwith databaseeconomicsnaturaldisasterriskworldwide
