Data availability Annual data Since 2010
Notes The presented indicator (11.5.1 Number of deaths or affected by disaster per 1 million people) is a proxy indicator to the one adopted in the official list of indicators of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The replacement of the original indicator (11.5.1 Number of deaths, missing persons and directly affected persons attributed to disasters per 100,000 population) is due to the inability to obtain data for it. The proxy indicator has been selected so as to most fully reflect the essence of the observed phenomenon.
