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.

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.
Vulnerability Data
These are the data describing the vulnerability of exposed assets and systems.
- Risk mapping by state and disaster by NCEI of NOAA[1]
- 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.
Financial and macroeconomic data variables needed for risk assessment
- Historical disaster cost and frequency of the US by state and disaster type by NCEI of NOAA[1]
- 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

- 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).
