EM-DAT Algeria: Natural Hazard Frequency and Economic Loss by Subtype

Aggregated natural hazard data for Algeria provided by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED), updated through March 2026. It tracks disaster frequency, human impact, and economic damage categorized by year and specific disaster subtype.

Use Cases

• Correlating 'disaster subtype' with 'total number of deaths' to identify high-risk hazards in Algeria
• Analyzing 'economic losses (adjusted)' trends to measure climate-related financial risk over time
• Quantifying 'total number of people affected' for humanitarian resource allocation planning

Strengths

• Granular disaster subtype categorization
• Includes inflation-adjusted economic loss figures
• Authored by CRED, a specialized research center

Limitations

• Geographic scope limited to Algeria
• Potential underreporting of economic losses for historical or minor events
