EM-DAT: Oman Natural Hazard Events and Economic Impact Figures

Aggregated natural hazard statistics for Oman, produced 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

• Correlating 'disaster subtype' with 'total number of deaths' to identify high-risk hazards in the region
• Analyzing 'economic losses (adjusted)' to evaluate the financial impact of climate events over time
• Using 'total number of people affected' to estimate historical humanitarian aid requirements

Strengths

• Includes inflation-adjusted economic loss figures for longitudinal financial analysis
• Categorized by specific disaster subtype for granular hazard profiling
• HXL-standardized for seamless integration with other humanitarian datasets

Limitations

• Geographically restricted to Oman
• Potential underreporting of economic losses for historical or small-scale events
