Risk Data Hub

The Risk Data Hub (RDH) of the Disaster Risk Management Knowledge Centre (DRMKC) is a pioneering platform designed to centralize and standardize risk, damage and loss data at a pan-European level. Developed with the goal of supporting risk assessment and risk analysis processes, the RDH facilitates the collection, sharing, and analysis of data that is crucial for understanding and mitigating risks. This comprehensive repository offers a variety of datasets, tools, and resources that can be utilized by policymakers, researchers, and practitioners in the field of disaster risk reduction. In particular you can find detailed geospatial data on hazards, vulnerability, exposure and historical impacts (losses) across Europe.

Open tool

What you can do with it

Input

  • Explore hazard, exposure, vulnerability and loss information.
  • Search datasets and indicators across Europe.
  • Access risk maps, dashboards and geospatial information.

Output

  • Maps and visualisations.
  • Datasets and indicators.
  • Historical loss information.
  • Risk-analysis resources and documentation.

Use it to

  • Assess climate and disaster risks across Europe.
  • Explore historical impacts and losses.
  • Support risk and vulnerability assessments.
  • Build evidence for disaster-risk management and adaptation planning.

Why is it relevant to climate adaptation

Brings together hazard, exposure, vulnerability and historical-loss information within a single European platform. It is particularly useful when users need to understand the different components of risk and compare information across countries using harmonised datasets.

Used in

  • European disaster-risk management and risk assessment activities.
  • Risk analysis supported through the Disaster Risk Management Knowledge Centre (DRMKC).
  • Pan-European analysis of hazards, vulnerability, exposure and historical losses.
  • Use of datasets from sources including Eurostat, World Bank, UNESCO and Copernicus.
