EM-DAT: Lithuania Natural Disaster Impact and Economic Loss Data

A source of aggregated statistics on natural hazard events in Lithuania, maintained by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED). It tracks disaster frequency, human impact, and financial damage categorized by year and disaster subtype. The data is updated through March 2026 to support longitudinal analysis of environmental risks.

Use Cases

• Analyzing historical trends in disaster frequency using the 'number of disasters' column
• Quantifying the human cost of hazards via the 'total number of deaths' and 'people affected' fields
• Modeling the financial impact of environmental events using 'economic losses' adjusted values

Strengths

• Standardized by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED)
• Includes both original and adjusted economic loss values
• Categorized by specific disaster subtype for granular hazard analysis

Limitations

• Geographically restricted to Lithuania
• Aggregated format prevents the analysis of specific event durations or precise sub-national locations
• Small sample size inherent to a single-country profile
