Description:
Global Flood Proportional Economic Loss Risk Deciles is a 2.5 by 2.5 minute grid of flood hazard economic loss as proportions of gross domestic product (GDP) per analytical unit. Estimates of GDP at risk are based on regional economic loss rates derived from historical records of the Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT). Loss rates are weighted by the hazard's frequency and distribution. The methodology of Sachs et al. (2003) is followed to determine baseline estimates of GDP per grid cell. To better reflect the confidence surrounding the data and procedures, the range of proportionalities is classified into deciles, 10 class of an approximately equal number of grid cells of increasing risk. The dataset is a result of the collaboration among the Center for Hazards and Risk Research (CHRR), International Bank for Reconstruction and Development/The World Bank, and the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN).
