The following files accompany the publication "Exposure to natural hazard events unassociated with policy change for improved disaster risk reduction" and contain the following input data files:

The following script (MatLab) files are included:

  • analysis_baselines4.m: script to calculate hazard indices for the four different baseline periods
  • analysis_baseline30yrs.m: script to calculate hazard indices for the baseline period 1980-2011
  • ktaub.m: Mann-Kendall Tau (aka Tau-b) with Sen's Method (enhanced). A non-parametric monotonic trend test computing Mann-Kendall Tau, Tau-b, and Sen Slope written in Mathworks-MATLAB implemented using matrix rotations.
  • load_data.m: script to load the different data used for the analysis.
  • merge_policy_hazard.m: script to estimate the average hazard for the baseline period 2007-2011
  • Plot_Figure1.m: script to plot Figure 1
  • Plot_Figure2.m: script to plot Figure 2
  • processing_hazard_data.m: script to preprocess the selected hazards from the EM-DAT dataset (at country level)
  • processing_policy_data.m: script to merge policy data from different periods and calculate the corresponding averages
  • statistical_analysis.m: script to run the statistical analysis for the baseline 1980-2011 for the different sets of natural hazards
  • Table1_2.m: script used to perform the statistical analysis reported in Table 1.2 of the supplementary material
