  1. ADB TA7599 TAJ Climate Resilience for Natural Resources InvestmentsTajikistan Context: Disaster Data Sources of disaster data: EM-DAT – global source, good for an overview but low level of reliability at sub national level Hydromet data (1970s-1990s) – water hazards. Low level of reliability CoES Data – from 1991 all natural hazards. Useful data but some gaps INGOs and NGOs – mainly community level data, especially maps of exposed communities, very detailed Field Trips Site observation Interviews with Govt. officials, CoES, community leaders, villagers. Qualitative data very useful in setting context, identifying issues, setting a scale to impacts Locally collected data and estimates of risk

  2. ADB TA7599 TAJ Climate Resilience for Natural Resources InvestmentsTajikistan Context: Disaster Data Comments on disaster data: Some gaps in data sets and districts’ data availability Some definitions unclear (e.g. mudflow or rapid onset flood or land slump, Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) or debris flow) Data sets not entirely compatible Locational imprecision for disaster event in some data sets Some discrepancies (e.g number of lakes exposed to GLOF in GBAO) Quality of data sets is improving Access to data can be time consuming but is improving
