Understanding disaster risk

Explore modelled economic risk through three complementary views. These estimates describe potential losses; they are not a record of disasters that have already occurred.

Risk across hazards

Average Annual Loss (AAL) expresses modelled economic loss as an annual average over the long term. The distribution across hazards helps put the country’s risk landscape in context. It does not predict the loss in any particular year.

Buildings and disaster risk

Explore how the modelled risk is distributed across building types. Read the chart alongside national risk assessments to understand which assets may need closer attention. Values reflect the coverage and assumptions of the source model.

A changing climate

Compare Average Annual Loss under the available climate scenarios. These are modelled scenarios, rather than a forecast of exactly what will happen. The source data provides the basis for interpreting the differences.
