The Expert Group on Disaster-related Statistics in Asia and the Pacific was formed to improve disaster risk reduction statistics through sharing best practices and pilot studies. The group is drafting a Disaster-related Statistics Framework to address the need for standardized and harmonized methods for collecting and reporting data on disaster risks, occurrences, and impacts. The framework is being tested in several countries and the group will finalize documentation, case studies, and recommendations before presenting a version 1.0 of the framework for review and concluding its work in 2018.
