Introduction

Vietnam’s geographic location and topography make it particularly susceptible to a wide range of disasters, both natural and technological.

This dataset provides data as uploaded, on the occurrence and impacts of mass disasters in Vietnam from 1953 to 2024. This includes both natural (biological, climatological, extra-terrestrial, geophysical, hydrological, meteorological), and technological (industrial accident) disasters. Data was extracted from The International Disaster Database (EM-DAT), maintained by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED), published by Open Development Vietnam.

It documents natural and human-related disasters in Vietnam from 1953 onward, with key fields related to: - Disaster types and sub types (e.g., storm, flood, drought, epidemic). - Start and end dates. - Human impact (deaths, injuries, people affected). - Economic damage (where data is available). - Geo-location and metadata (latitude/longitude, region, event name).

How Vietnam has changed since 1953, with a focus on climate change-driven disasters:

• Storms (including tropical cyclones).
• Floods.
• Droughts.

We explore long-term trends, decadal comparisons, regional distribution, and statistical correlations to understand Vietnam’s evolving climate vulnerability. The aim is to uncover data-driven insights that inform climate adaptation, disaster risk management, and sustainable development planning.

In 2022, the cost of damage caused by natural disasters occurring in Japan amounted to around *** billion Japanese yen. Since the country is situated along the Ring of Fire, an area where several tectonic plates meet, it is vulnerable to natural disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. Natural disasters in Japan In recent years, flooded houses accounted for the highest number of damage situations in natural disasters in Japan. Flooding is often caused by typhoons, which regularly hit Japan. Most typhoons approach the archipelago between July and October, during the peak of the typhoon season. The tropical cyclones develop over the Pacific Ocean and are likely to approach Japan's southernmost prefecture Okinawa. Since the number of typhoons has increased in recent years, the amount of damage caused by floods grew as well. The triple disaster in 2011 The highest cost of damage caused by natural disasters, as well as the highest number of people killed by natural disasters in Japan, was recorded in 2011. That year, the Great East Japan Earthquake, also referred to as the Tohoku earthquake, took place. It was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan and led to meltdowns at three reactors in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Fukushima prefecture. The damage caused by surging water from the resulting tsunami was more destructive than the earthquake itself, as it destroyed many Japanese cities and led to the death of around 19.7 thousand people.

NRRA requested surge team to develop a means to produce a defensible, evidence-based estimate of total economic impact of disasters for the recent flood events in Northern NSW and southern Queensland in February and March 2022 . Although the primary objective was to be quantify the total economic impact for the entire flood event, the team developed an approach that would enable estimation of value at risk and value impacted at higher spatial resolution or granularity that could also be used to inform policy and program design.

The aim was to develop a minimum viable product (MVP) for immediate use by the NRRA.

An approach was developed to estimating economic value at risk for administrative areas and then use flood extent to calculate percent of each administrative area impacted by the hazard, to estimate economic value impacted. Gross Value Added (GVA) by each administrative area (ASGS SA2 level) was selected as the headline economic value at risk figure. The GVA for each administrative area can be aggregated to a headline figure of total economic impact. The approach was intended to be rapid and robust, and to provide a preliminary view of direct impacts soon after a disaster occurs.

The outputs include:

A) An Economic value-at-risk data stack (including a range of economic data - jobs, productivity by worker, property reconstruction value, inter-regional and sectoral economic activity and built environment data)

B) A calculation sheet to calculate value impacted based on value at risk (GVA) and input parameters to quantify hazard within each administration unit

Both outputs are contained within a Microsoft Excel document.

Market Dynamics: Key Drivers

Increasing Climate-Related disasters are giving rise to MREs and the Emergency Foods Market

From deadly wildfires in California to devastating floods in North Carolina, disasters have wreaked havoc across the US over the past year, the world’s hottest on record. They shook millions of lives and caused billions of dollars in damage. As climate change intensifies, the intensity and frequency of extreme weather, often resulting in disasters, are increasing.

According to the IPCC’s most recent report on climate adaptation, disasters fueled by climate change are already worse than scientists originally predicted. And now, the scientists have presented evidence that additional warming is locked in. That means disaster risk will grow, even if the world does succeed in limiting the greenhouse gas emissions that drive the changing climate. According to industrial reports, in 2022, the United States experienced 18 separate weather or climate disasters that each resulted in at least USD 1 billion in damages. The WMO's Atlas of Mortality and Economic Losses from Weather, Climate, and Water Extremes shows a five-fold increase in reported disasters between 1970 and 2019, with over 11,000 reported disasters leading to just over 2 million deaths and US$ 3.64 trillion in economic losses.

In addition, there is a rising need for emergency food supplies to sustain affected communities. The global emergency food market benefits from this heightened demand during and after disasters, as governments, NGOs, and individuals stock up on long-lasting food products. Climate-related disasters often lead to power outages and disrupted transportation networks. Emergency food products that require minimal preparation, such as freeze-dried meals, are particularly valuable in such situations. Furthermore, manufacturers have integrated innovations in packaging and preservation techniques, ensuring that the products remain safe and nutritious for long periods.

Market Restraints

The high price point and taste, and texture of MREs compared to the conventional meal options limit the growth of MREs and the Emergency Foods Markets

The relatively high price point of MREs compared to conventional meal options can deter price-sensitive consumers. This financial barrier can inhibit wider adoption, particularly in economically challenging times. Additionally, the lack of variety in MRE offerings may limit appeal, as some consumers seek more diverse meal options.

Despite improvements, many MREs still struggle with maintaining the taste, texture, and variety of freshly prepared food. U.S. soldiers have reported dissatisfaction with the MRE's menu during long deployments. Additionally, MRE entrees often undergo thermal sterilization or freeze-drying, which can drastically alter texture. Foods that are normally crunchy or tender, like vegetables, breads, or meat, often turn out mushy or rubbery after rehydration or heating.

Overall, while MREs provide essential nutrition and long shelf life, the lack of appealing taste and natural texture remains a barrier to a broader market growth, especially in consumer and retail segments. Introduction to MREs & Emergency Foods

The MRE (Meal, Ready to Eat) is a self-contained, complete meal. The MRE is a self-contained operational ration consisting of a full meal packed in a flexible meal bag. The full bag is lightweight and fits easily into military field clothing pockets. All MREs are ready-to-eat as is; no mixing, cooking, or water addition. Previous rations were either canned foods that were heavy to carry or dried foods that required rehydration. The major innovation in creating MREs was the tri-laminated metallicized heat-stable pouch. The plastic pouch is lightweight, he...

Since 2000, hurricanes were the natural disasters with the highest estimated economic losses in the Caribbean. Hurricane Ian, which affected several islands in the Caribbean (especially Cuba) and the southeast of the United States (specially Florida and the Carolinas) in September of 2022, caused overall losses for approximately 100 billion U.S. dollars. Hurricane Maria in 2017 ranked second, with an economic impact estimated at 68.6 billion U.S. dollars, in this case including Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Dominica, Guadeloupe, the Dominican Republic, Martinique, and Haiti.

The aftermath of Hurricane Dorian

The Bahamas was the country most severely affected by Hurricane Dorian, which hit in late August 2019, lasting until September 9. This storm, a category 5 hurricane, claimed a total of 65 lives and was labelled the worst cyclone and natural disaster to ever occur in the Bahamas. That year, this island nation received the highest extreme climate risk score in the whole Latin American and Caribbean region.

The death toll of natural disasters in the Caribbean

The magnitude 7.2 earthquake that struck Haiti on August 2021 has been the deadliest natural disaster in Latin America and the Caribbean from 2018 to 2022, estimated to have killed 2,248 people.
