EM-DAT Kyrgyzstan: Natural Hazard Impacts and Economic Losses by Subtype

Aggregated historical data on natural hazard events in Kyrgyzstan, compiled by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED). The records track disaster frequency, human impact, and economic damage categorized by year and specific disaster subtype, with maintenance records extending through 2026.

Use Cases

• Trend analysis of 'total number of deaths' across different 'disaster subtype' categories to prioritize emergency response resources
• Calculating the average 'economic losses (adjusted)' per event type to inform national insurance and infrastructure resilience planning
• Monitoring the 'total number of people affected' annually to track progress against international disaster risk reduction frameworks

Strengths

• Provides 'economic losses (adjusted)' allowing for direct financial comparison across different years
• Uses 'disaster subtype' labels for high-resolution hazard classification
• Adheres to the Humanitarian Exchange Language (HXL) standard for interoperability

Limitations

• Aggregated format by year and subtype obscures the details of specific, individual disaster occurrences
• Economic loss figures may be incomplete due to historical reporting gaps in specific regions
