EM-DAT Sudan: Natural Disaster Impact and Economic Loss by Subtype

Aggregated historical records of natural hazard events in Sudan produced by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED). The data tracks disaster frequency, human impact, and economic damage categorized by year and disaster subtype.

Use Cases

• Trend analysis of 'total number of deaths' across different 'disaster subtype' categories
• Longitudinal study of 'economic losses (adjusted)' to measure climate-related financial risk
• Humanitarian planning based on the 'total number of people affected' per year

Strengths

• Includes inflation-adjusted economic loss figures
• Categorized by specific disaster subtype
• Standardized HXL tags for humanitarian interoperability

Limitations

• Potential underreporting of economic losses for localized events
• National-level aggregation lacks sub-national spatial detail
