EarthquakesGlobalColumbia University

Dataset Objective

To estimate the total population at risk of mortality due to earthquake hazards.

Context

data provides a baseline estimate of population per grid cell from which to estimate potential mortality risks due to earthquake hazard. Mortality loss estimates per hazard event are calculated using regional, hazard-specific mortality records of the Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT) that span the 20 years between 1981 and 2000.

What is included

This dataset entail continent name, type of hazard, total population, number of mortality, earthquakes locations, and earthquake distribution.

Collection Methods

Satellite imagery
