Flooding, TsunamisGlobalColumbia University

Dataset Objective

To assess the proportional economic impacts caused by global cyclones hazards.

Context

Dataset is a 2.5 minute grid of cyclone hazard economic loss as proportions of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per analytical Unit. Estimates of GDP at risk are based on regional economic loss rates derived from historical records of the Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT).

What is included

This dataset entails economic loss, hazard frequency, hazard distribution, GDP and estimated economic risk (low, middle and high).
