Past and present observed changes are considered, and delegates will learn how climate models work and the nature (and limits of our knowl…
ThinkHazard! is a new, open source resource pioneered by the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR), capable of analyzing national and local hazard data. It is available for all 196 countries across 8 different natural hazards.
The methodology report communicates:
The methods used to communicate technical hazard data as simpler…
This report looks at the current situation and future outlook regarding natural hazards and risks in Australia and New Zealand. It highlights probable scenarios and economic losses associated to each hazard analyzed. Australia and New Zealand have been hit hard by natural catastrophes in recent years: floods, cyclones, hailstorms, bushfires and earthqua…
This map shows the worldwide distribution of natural catastrophes that occurred between 1980 and 2014, based on the data from NatCatSERVICE, and gives overviews of overall and insured losses.
With more than 25,000 entries, NatCatSERVICE is one of the leading global databases for natural catastrophes. Every year between 800 and 1,000 loss events are rec…
This map illustrates Tonga's exposure to seismic, volcanic and tropical storm hazard.
Earthquake intensity zones indicate where there is a 20% probability that degrees of intensity shown on the map will be exceeded in 50 years; tropical storm intensity zones indicate where there is a 10% probability of a storm of this intensity striking in the next 10…
This map illustrates the Solomon Islands's exposure to seismic, volcanic and tropical storm hazard.
Earthquake intensity zones indicate where there is a 20% probability that degrees of intensity shown on the map will be exceeded in 50 years; tropical storm intensity zones indicate where there is a 10% probability of a storm of this intensity striking i…
This map illustrates Papua New Guinea's exposure to seismic, volcanic and tropical storm hazard.
Earthquake intensity zones indicate where there is a 20% probability that degrees of intensity shown on the map will be exceeded in 50 years; tropical storm intensity zones indicate where there is a 10% probability of a storm of this intensity striking in t…

This map illustrates Afghanistan's exposure to seismic, volcanic and tropical storm hazard.
Earthquake intensity zones indicate where there is a 20% probability that degrees of intensity indicated will be exceeded in 50 years; tropical storm intensity zones indicate where there is a 10% probability of a storm of this intensity striking in the next 10 y…
This report provides an assessment of the achievements and progress made in disaster risk reduction (DRR) by Papua New Guinea during the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR). It describes country’s recent experience with natural hazards and disasters, such as volcano, drought, landslide and cyclone, also presents national institut…
This report shows that the natural catastrophe statistics for 2012 were largely dominated by atmospheric events, with no catastrophic earthquakes. Due to a number of major weather-related catastrophes, including severe tornado outbreaks in the spring and a record drought in the US Midwest, the USA accounted for an exceptionally high proportion of natura…
This Atlas is designed to help business, investors and international organisations compare the risks of natural hazards within 197 countries and assess their resilience during and after the occurrence of a natural hazard. The Atlas includes indices and interactive subnational maps of 12 natural hazard risks, as well as scorecards for all countries…
