Landslide: areas where median annual rainfall-triggered landslide is above 0 - baseline (1981-2010). The Global Rainfall-Triggered Landslide Hazard Map presents a quantitative representation of landslide hazard. This component is the mean annual rainfall-triggered landslide hazard assessment for the period 1980 – 2018. Raster values represent the modelled average annual frequency of significant rainfall-triggered landslides per sq. km.

Flood hazard: areas prone to flood events with 100-year return period. Source: GFDRR (https://data.amerigeoss.org/dataset/ss-global-muis-10) These datasets present the first global reanalysis of storm surges and extreme sea levels (GTSR data set) based on hydrodynamic modelling. GTSR covers the entire world’s coastline and consists of time series of tides and surges, and estimates of extreme sea levels. Validation shows that there is good agreement between modelled and observed sea levels, and that the performance of GTSR is similar to that of many regional hydrodynamic models.
