===Causes of Drought===


Meteorological Drought: Lack of rainfall or below-average precipitation for an extended period characterizes meteorological drought. This is the most common form of drought. <br>
Hydrological Drought: Hydrological drought occurs when water sources such as rivers, lakes, and aquifers experience reduced water levels due to prolonged dry conditions.<br>
Agricultural Drought: Agricultural drought relates to soil moisture deficits that affect crop growth. It occurs when there's not enough water in the soil to meet the needs of crops. <br>
===Characteristics and Impacts===
*Water Scarcity: Reduced precipitation and water availability lead to water scarcity, affecting both surface water and groundwater resources.<br>
*Crop Failures: Insufficient water for crops can result in reduced yields, economic losses for farmers, and potential food shortages.<br>
*Ecosystem Stress: Drought can stress ecosystems, leading to decreased vegetation, habitat loss, and disruptions in wildlife populations.<br>
*Water Supply Challenges: Municipal water supplies may face shortages, impacting communities, industries, and essential services.<br>
*Wildfires: Prolonged dry conditions increase the risk of wildfires, as vegetation becomes more susceptible to ignition.<br>
*Livestock and Wildlife: Drought affects the availability of water and forage for livestock, leading to challenges in animal husbandry. Wildlife may face similar challenges.<br>
*Economic Impact: Drought can have significant economic consequences, including reduced agricultural productivity, increased food prices, and impacts on various industries.<br>
*Human Health: Drought can indirectly affect human health through its impact on water supply, food availability, and the potential for conflicts over scarce resources.<br>

The Drought dataset encompasses occurrences of wildfires across the USA spanning from 2000 to 2023. The dataset includes information on the total count of deaths and the number of individuals affected, providing quantitative insights.
The amount of damage to property, crops, and livestock is shown in the dataset. The estimated damage are given in US$ ('000). For each disaster, the registered figure corresponds to the damage value at the moment of the event, i.e. the figures are shown true to the year of the event.

Property damage refers to the destruction, harm, or loss incurred by physical structures, assets, or properties due to various climatic hazards and risks associated with weather patterns, changes, and extreme events. It encompasses the financial and physical impact on buildings, infrastructure, homes, businesses, and other assets caused by climate-related phenomena.

Climate risks include a wide range of natural disasters and environmental changes intensified or influenced by climate change:

1. Extreme Weather Events: Such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, wildfires, storms, heatwaves, and heavy rainfall, which can cause damage to buildings, infrastructure, and agriculture.

2. Rising Sea Levels: Leading to coastal erosion, inundation of coastal areas, and damage to properties located in low-lying regions.

3. Temperature Changes: Extremes in temperatures affecting agriculture, infrastructure, and human health, leading to increased energy consumption or infrastructure failure.

4. Changes in Precipitation Patterns: Resulting in droughts or heavy rains, impacting agriculture, water resources, and infrastructure.

5. Melting Ice Caps and Glaciers: Contributing to changes in water availability, affecting ecosystems, and potentially leading to infrastructure damage.

Mitigating property damage from climate risks involves strategies such as improved urban planning, building resilient infrastructure, implementing better land-use policies, reinforcing structures against extreme weather events, and adopting sustainable practices to reduce vulnerability to climate-related hazards.

Property Damage Data Analysis

The amount of damage to property, crops, and livestock is shown in the dataset. The estimated damage are given in US$ ('000). For each disaster, the registered figure corresponds to the damage value at the moment of the event, i.e. the figures are shown true to the year of the event.

Sample Data

Entity Year Total economic damage from natural disasters
All Disasters 1900 30000000
Drought 2015 21917299000
Earthquake 2008 85796000000
