EM-DAT Morocco: Natural Disaster Impact and Economic Losses by Year

Longitudinal records of natural hazard events in Morocco, aggregated by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED). It tracks disaster frequency, human impact, and economic damage categorized by year and disaster subtype. The data includes both historical impact figures and inflation-adjusted economic loss metrics.

Use Cases

• Trend analysis of 'total number of deaths' across different 'disaster subtypes' in Morocco
• Economic impact modeling using 'economic losses (adjusted)' over multiple decades
• Humanitarian resource allocation planning based on 'total number of people affected' per hazard type

Strengths

• Includes adjusted economic loss values for inflation-corrected longitudinal analysis
• Categorized by specific disaster subtypes for granular hazard profiling
• Sourced from the authoritative EM-DAT project managed by CRED

Limitations

• Restricted to Morocco, preventing regional cross-comparison within this specific file
• Aggregated annual data lacks specific start and end dates for individual disaster events
• Economic loss data may be underreported for smaller-scale events that do not trigger international reporting
