Aggregated natural hazard statistics for the Federated States of Micronesia are 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.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the frequency of specific disaster subtype occurrences in Micronesia over time
• Calculating the correlation between disaster subtype and total deaths or affected population
• Assessing the long-term economic impact of natural hazards using adjusted loss figures

Strengths

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

Limitations

• Geographically restricted to the Federated States of Micronesia
• Aggregated format prevents analysis of individual disaster event characteristics or specific dates
