EM-VIEW: A Community Dashboard for your EM-DAT Data

This is a Streamlit Web App designed to visualize the EM-DAT International Disaster Database data contained in your official EM-DAT xlsx file. EM-VIEW has multiple tabs with specific features responding to filters:

• Metric view: impact statistics, disaggregated by disaster types;
• Table view: the EM-DAT dataframe that can be filtered by column names;
• Map view: global or regional impact maps by country;
• Time view: yearly-aggregated timeseries of impact, with multiple stacking options.

You can download the EM-DAT data by registering on the EM-DAT Data Portal.
