EM-DAT: Tajikistan Natural Disaster Impact and Economic Loss Data

Tajikistan natural hazard statistics aggregated by year and disaster subtype, maintained by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED). The records quantify human impact through fatality and affected population counts alongside original and adjusted economic loss figures.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the frequency of specific disaster subtypes in Tajikistan using the 'number of disasters' field
• Calculating the average human cost per event type using 'total number of deaths' and 'total number of people affected'
• Assessing long-term financial impact trends using the 'economic losses (adjusted)' column

Strengths

• Includes inflation-adjusted economic loss figures for temporal comparison
• Categorized by disaster subtype for granular hazard analysis
• Uses HXL (Humanitarian Exchange Language) tags for data integration

Limitations

• Aggregated data structure lacks specific dates or geographic coordinates for individual events
• Economic loss data is often subject to reporting gaps in developing regions
