sort countries:  alphabetically
by selected parameter

Whenever you change one of the three boxes above, the page will be reloaded, as each disaster type lists a different set of countries. If you select the option "sort countries by selected parameter" the countries then are listed descending with its value.




The spider graph displays the values in relative terms (expressed in percentage of the maximum value) up to four selected countries. The value "1" represents 100% of the maximum value found within this parameter.
 
kpy = Casualities    kpmio = Killed per mio. Inhabitants    urbg = Urban population growth rate    phexp_n = Physical exposure    vulprox = Relative vulnerability
