EM-DAT: Indonesia Natural Hazard Impact and Economic Loss Figures

Aggregated natural hazard statistics for Indonesia 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. Records include both human impact metrics and adjusted financial loss figures.

Use Cases

• Trend analysis of 'total number of deaths' by 'disaster subtype' over multiple years
• Modeling 'economic losses (adjusted)' to forecast financial risk from natural hazards
• Evaluating the ratio of 'total number of people affected' to 'number of disasters' for severity assessment

Strengths

• Standardized disaster subtype categorization
• Includes inflation-adjusted economic loss figures
• Aggregated by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED)

Limitations

• Aggregated format lacks specific event-level timestamps or coordinates
• Economic loss figures are subject to reporting inconsistencies across different years
