EM-DAT: Romania Natural Disaster Frequency and Economic Impact Figures

Aggregated statistics on natural hazard events in Romania, maintained by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters. It tracks disaster frequency, human impact, and economic damage categorized by year and disaster subtype. The records include both historical human tallies and financial loss metrics updated through March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing longitudinal trends in 'total number of deaths' across different 'disaster subtype' categories in Romania
• Correlating the 'number of disasters' with 'economic losses (adjusted)' to assess disaster severity over time
• Quantifying the 'total number of people affected' by specific hazard types for national risk assessment

Strengths

• Includes both original and inflation-adjusted economic loss figures
• Standardized disaster subtype classifications
• Aggregated by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED)

Limitations

• Aggregated format prevents analysis of individual event durations or specific sub-national locations
• Limited strictly to natural hazards, excluding man-made disasters
