EM-DAT: Cambodia Natural Disaster Statistics by Subtype and Year

Aggregated historical figures for natural hazard events in Cambodia, produced by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED). The data tracks disaster frequency, fatalities, and economic impact categorized by disaster subtype and year.

Use Cases

• Analyzing trends in disaster frequency over time using the 'number of disasters' column
• Assessing human vulnerability using 'total number of deaths' and 'people affected' metrics
• Economic modeling of natural hazards using the 'adjusted economic losses' field

Strengths

• Categorized by disaster subtype for granular hazard analysis
• Includes inflation-adjusted economic loss values for longitudinal comparison
• Uses Humanitarian Exchange Language (HXL) tags for easy integration

Limitations

• Aggregated format lacks specific event-level dates or precise coordinates
• Economic loss data may be underreported for older historical records
