- Abstract
- The purpose of this Regional Analysis of Disaster Loss Databases in Arab States is to contribute to a better understanding of the impact of disasters in terms of losses in the region. The main objectives are: 1) to share new disaster loss and damage data assessed through UNISDR Regional Office for Arab States’ “Disaster loss database initiative”; 2) to draw a clear picture on the practices, methodologies and the processes used for assessing and managing disaster damage and loss data in Arab countries and; 3) to provide recommendations to improve existing practices. Beyond the assessment, interpretation and visualization of data on a regional level for the ten countries, additional statistics are provided in an effort to capture the region-wide impact of disasters beyond the ten countries with established national disaster loss databases.
