The interactive map provides data for a range of natural hazards, including tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes. Users can select individual hazards to learn more about the date of occurrence, location, severity, economic impact, and social impact.
To do so, we need to understand how disaster events are changing, who is most vulnerable, and what can be done to protect them. On this page, you will find our complete collection of data, charts, and research on natural disasters and their costs.
List of countries by natural disaster risk. Maps of the 2022 WorldRiskIndex and its components. The report systematically considers a country's vulnerability and its exposure to natural hazards to determine a ranking of countries around the world based on their natural disaster risk.
The Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Global Seismic Hazard Map (version 2018.1) depicts the geographic distribution of the Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, computed for reference rock conditions (shear wave velocity, VS30, of 760-800 m/s).
Dec 7, 2018 · The first map, of global seismic hazard, shows in unprecedented detail which parts of the globe are prone to earthquakes — such as the ‘Ring of Fire’ around the Pacific Ocean (see ‘Modelling...
