Natural disaster data book 2020: an analytical overview

This book aims to provide statistical perspectives in figures and tables of natural disaster data. Published annually by Asian Disaster Reduction Center (ADRC), the Natural Disasters Data Book obtains data from EM-DAT and analyses it to show the occurrence, death tolls, people affected, and economic impact of disasters. For this year’s (FY2020) issue, two sets of data for statistical perspectives are added: data relating to climate-related disasters and data relating to COVID-19 situation.
