EM-DAT Fiji: Natural Hazard Impact and Economic Loss Statistics

Aggregated natural hazard statistics for Fiji provided by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED). The data tracks disaster frequency, human impact, and economic damage categorized by disaster subtype and year. Records include specific metrics for fatalities and inflation-adjusted economic losses.

Use Cases

• Trend analysis of 'total number of deaths' across different years
• Comparing 'economic losses' between different 'disaster subtypes' like cyclones or floods
• Calculating the average 'total number of people affected' per disaster event type

Strengths

• Includes inflation-adjusted economic loss figures
• Categorized by specific disaster subtypes
• Follows HXL (Humanitarian Exchange Language) standards

Limitations

• Aggregated data prevents analysis of individual disaster events
• Limited to Fiji, requiring joins with other country profiles for regional analysis
