Economic Stock

The Global Exposure Database (GED) was developed for GAR15 by UNEP-GRID with close collaboration and inputs from WAPMERR (World Agency of Planetary Monitoring and Earthquake Risk Reduction), EU Joint Research Center (JRC), and Kokusai Kogyo. The GED provides estimation on the economic value of the exposed assets (public and private buildings located in urban and rural areas), as well as their physical characteristics and occupancy levels. This information is key to assess the potential damages from different hazards to each of the exposed elements and to assign the appropriate vulnerability models. The global exposure database is developed at 1x1 km spatial resolution at coastal areas and at 5x5 km spatial resolution everywhere else on the globe. The GED is based on a top-down approach where statistical information including socio-economic, building type, and capital stock at a national level are transposed onto the grids of 5x5 or 1x1 using geographic distribution of population data and gross domestic product (GDP) as proxies. For more details see: De Bono and Chatenoux (2014).
