All Physical Risk Datasets

Climate Hazard Data

These are the data describing the drivers of physical risk. These data include climate information or information about current and projected hazard events.

Hot and Cold	Wet and Dry	Hurricanes and Storms	Ice and Snow	Coastal and Oceanic	Biodiversity
Extreme Heat Cold Spells and Frost Mean temperature increase	Flooding Drought Wildfires	Tropical cyclones Severe winds and tornadoes Hailstorms	Winter storms Glacier retreat Permafrost thawing Sea ice	Storm surge Sea level rise Marine heatwaves Ocean acidification	Biodiversity loss

Exposure Data

These are data describing exposures to the climate hazard. Key features used to construct the exposures include specific geographic locations of assets and systems, building or infrastructure characteristics such as construction materials, height, and flood resistance.

• Residential energy demand temperature index (REDTI):
• NOAA Digital elevation model
• EEA data is great

Vulnerability Data

These are the data describing the vulnerability of exposed assets and systems.

• Risk mapping by state and disaster by NCEI of NOAA
• CDC/ATSDR social vulnerability index
• CDC/ATSDR environmental justice index
• Future climate-change related risk: View, Data Download
• Urban adaptation map viewer: https://climate-adapt.eea.europa.eu/en/knowledge/tools/urban-adaptation

Financial and Economic Data

These are the data needed to assess the impacts on the economy and financial sector. Key datasets required include balance-sheet data for systematically important banks and macroeconomic data. The table below listed the financial and macroeconomic data variables needed for risk assessment as suggested by UNEP (2023).

Financial and macroeconomic data variables needed for risk assessment (Source: UNEP (2023))

• Historical disaster cost and frequency of the US by state and disaster type by NCEI of NOAA
• EM-DAT data, the international database of worldwide disaster, hazards, and their damage from 1900 to present. The database is compiled from various sources, including UN agencies, non-governmental organizations, reinsurance companies, research institutes, and press agencies.
• CAT-DAT data
• Global Drought Proportional Economic Loss Risk Deciles
• FEMS's Hazus loss library
• Economic losses from weather- and climate- related extremes in Europe: https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/analysis/indicators/economic-losses-from-climate-related
• Climate related economic losses in Europe: View
• Economic losses and fatalities based on CATDATA: View
• NatCatSERVICE is a global natural catastrophe loss database provided by re-insurance company Munich Re. It is one of the world's most comprehensive databases on natural hazard-based disasters with more than 28 000 entries. It is based on over 200 sources worldwide, including news agencies, insurance companies, international agencies (UN, EU, Red Cross, etc.), scientific sources and weather and warning services. (Note to XL: it doesn't seem to be open-source, but it is listed by EEA).
