Whydisasterlossanddamagedatabases?
• Lossesanddamagesfromdisastersarenotsystemicallyrecorded
• Poorunderstandingofemergingpatterns andtrends ofdisasterrisksresultinginlackoftargetedaction
• Climatechangeandvariabilityposingthreatstodevelopment
• Intensities andfrequencies ofdisasterschanging

Disasterlossanddamagedatabase?
• Collectionofhomogeneousdataaboutdisasters
• Datacaptureoveraperiodoftimeandgeographicalunit
• Storage,retrievalandcompilationofdataandinformation
• Sharingofdataandinformationtoallstakeholdersinrealtime
• Analysisofdataoveraperiodoftimeandspacetounderstandpatternsandtrendsofrisks
