Day_93: Natural disasters in Thailand – National Disaster Risk Assessement Mapping

The national risk assessment mapping in Thailand is briefly explained below.

Table 1  Disaster data in Thailand
em-dat_thailand
The target period of these EM-DAT data is from 1900 to 2014. However, the large numbers of deaths, affected people, and damage costs caused by natural disasters are all after the 1970s, as shown in Table 1. The data clarify that the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and the 2011 Chao Phraya River flood disasters have been very influential in Thailand.

Figure 1 was created using EM-DAT data from Thailand (1900-2014). This risk assessment mapping (Frequency-Impact by each damage type) is very simple, but it allows us to easily grasp the whole picture of the risks.

The following risk matrix options help evaluate each risk.

Figure 3 Risk matrix options (2)

From Figure 1, it is clear that the flood is the disaster that requires the most countermeasures in Thailand. Figures 2 and 3, for example, show that extensive management and monitoring are essential, and immediate action must be taken against the floods.

The above explanations are very rough. Detailed descriptions will be discussed later.

The above was already published with explanations as a report for the Japanese Association for Earthquake and Engineering (JAEE).

    I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a
    blog that’s both equally educative and interesting, and let me tell you,
    you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something that too
    few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy I found this in my search for something regarding this.

    I was recommended this web site by my cousin. I’m not sure whether this post is
    written by him as nobody else know such detailed about my trouble.
    You are amazing! Thanks!
