Abstract:

This study presents a data analysis on material damage by hydrological disasters that occurred in Brazil,2010 to 2014. It is a descriptive study that compare the results of two disaster databases: EM DAT (global) and S2iD (national). The analysis shows differences in the total number of disaster events (EM-DAT = 36; S2iD = 4070), as in material damage (EM-DAT – R$ 9.2 billion; S2iD – R$331.4 billion). The event distribution analysis shows that the five states most affected by these events (SC, RS, MG, SP e PR) are in the South and Southeast regions of Brazil, consistent with findingsother research. The buildings that have major material damage were, in this order: housing units, public infrastructure buildings, public facilities for community use, public facilities for other services, public facilities of education and public health facilities. The damage to public health facilities showed high values. Despite the limitations of both, EM-DAT- and S2iD demonstrated their usefulness in determining seasonal trends and long term, as well as patterns and areas risks are concentrated, assisting decision makers in identifying the most affected and vulnerable areas to disasters.
