ABSTRACT

We develop a natural disaster risk index (NDRI) for evaluating risks of natural disasters based on the analysis of quantitative data provided by public institutions. NDRI is measured by 32 sub-indexes representing 4 assessment areas: disaster risk, geographical vulnerability, social vulnerability, and response/recovery capability. Using the database, 225 primary local governments are evaluated for NDRI for the years 2001-2014. For verification of the effectiveness of the proposed model, we compare and analyze NDRI evaluation results, regional safety grades from Ministry of Public Safety and Security, and actual amounts of damages from the previous natural disasters. The NDRI evaluation results show a significant association with the regional safety grades as well as the actual amounts of damages. NDRI is a tool to evaluate risks of natural disasters objectively with less resources and time.
