EM-DAT Hungary: Natural Hazard Frequency and Economic Impact Data

Aggregated natural hazard statistics for Hungary provided by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED). The data tracks disaster frequency, fatalities, and economic impact categorized by year and disaster subtype, with records updated as of March 2026.

Use Cases

• Trend analysis of 'total number of deaths' across different 'disaster subtypes' over time
• Correlation of 'economic losses (adjusted)' with the 'number of disasters' per year
• Estimating humanitarian aid requirements based on 'total number of people affected'

Strengths

• Standardized HXL tags for humanitarian data interoperability
• Includes both original and inflation-adjusted economic loss figures
• Categorizes events by specific disaster subtypes

Limitations

• Aggregated format obscures details of individual disaster events
• Geographic scope is limited strictly to Hungary
