Natural disaster databook 2021: an analytical overview
This document is published annually to provide statistical and analytical perspectives of disaster data. ADRC retrieves data from the Emergency Event Database (EM-DAT) in order to better understand the occurrence, deaths, people affected, and economic losses from disaster events. The overview is divided into three key sections: (1) disaster data of 2021 is compared with the annual average data of 1991-2020 both at the Global level and at the regional level; (2) climate-related disaster data of 2021 is compared with the annual average data of 1991-2020; and (3) COVID-19 situations at the global level and in the ADRC member countries are presented to show the cumulative data of confirmed cases and deaths.
