Browse standardized disaster risk data including hazard, exposure, vulnerability, and loss datasets from around the world.
The Risk Data Library Catalog is a centralized platform for discovering and accessing critical disaster risk datasets. Using the Risk Data Library Standard, an open meta data standard, it aggregates risk data from multiple authoritative sources, enabling researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and analysts to find, evaluate, and utilize high-quality risk information for disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation initiatives.
