Aggregated natural hazard statistics for Mali provided by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) as of March 2026. The data tracks disaster frequency, fatalities, affected populations, and economic losses categorized by disaster subtype and year.

Use Cases

• Humanitarian planning based on 'total number of people affected' by recurring hazard types

Strengths

• Expert-curated by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters
• Includes inflation-adjusted economic loss figures for longitudinal comparison
• Categorized by specific disaster subtypes for granular hazard analysis

Limitations

• Aggregated annual data lacks specific event-level coordinates or exact dates
