Yemen Natural Hazard Profiles: Historical Impact and Economic Losses

Yemen natural hazard data aggregated by year and disaster subtype, produced by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED). The records track human impact through death and displacement counts alongside economic loss metrics.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the correlation between disaster subtype and total number of deaths to identify the deadliest hazard types in Yemen
• Trend analysis of economic losses (adjusted) over time to assess the increasing financial burden of natural hazards
• Resource allocation modeling based on the total number of people affected per disaster category

Strengths

• Includes both original and inflation-adjusted economic loss figures
• Granular categorization by disaster subtype for specific hazard analysis
• Standardized reporting from the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED)

Limitations

• Aggregated format prevents analysis of individual disaster events or specific geographic coordinates
• Economic loss data in conflict zones like Yemen is often underreported or difficult to verify
