The Multihazard Index was created by summing category values between 8 and 10 across all six natural hazards. This results in a multihazard index that reflects the number of hazards considered relatively significant in a particular grid cell. Overall, more than half of the world's population lives in areas subject to at least one hazard at a significant…

In 2022, the world has experienced several concurrent and compound extreme events. In Europe, drought and heatwaves caused severe impacts. In East Africa, persistent drought…
Drought periods were defined using an index known as the Weighted Anomaly of Standardized Precipitation (WASP). The WASP index assesses the precipitation deficit or surplus over a three-month running average for the 21-year period from 1980 – 2000. Findings show that about 38% of the world's land area has some level of drought exposure.

Mortality risk is found by weighting the value of population exposure to drought for each grid cell by a vulnerability coefficient to obtain an estimate of risk. The vulnerability weights are based on historical losses in previous disasters. The mortality weights are applied to population exposure to obtain mortality risks. The weights are an aggregate…
