This DVD-ROM contains The WHO e-Atlas of disaster risk for the Eastern Mediterranean Region, Volume 1. Exposure to natural hazards, a tool to help disaster management decision-makers predict the magnitude of a disaster on a specific population, to assess where damage might be the greatest and to forecast specific resources which may be required to reduce health risks to vulnerable populations. It uses GIS mapping methodology and disaster models that cover all the countries of the Region, and is available in DVD format only. Vol.1 of the e-Atlas contains a set of maps and supporting documents explaining methodology and providing metadata that illustrate the distribution of natural hazards (earthquakes, floods, heat, wind and landslides) occuring in WHO’s Eastern Mediterranean Region, as well as estimates of the sizes of populations exposed to such hazards.
