Quality

The population per grid cell (item Pop) is based upon the population data of Gridded Population of the World, Version 3 (GPWv3). The area per grid cell (Areakm) is calculated by subtracting from the area of the grid cell those areas that are permanently inundated as identified using VMAP (0)/Digital Chart of the World. Building upon a methodology developed by Sachs et al. (2003), a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) value (US$, 2000, purchase power parity adjusted (PPP)) is estimated for each grid cell. The process begins by determining the contribution of each subnational unit to national GDP using data of varied origin. The ratio of the subnational production to the national GDP is the contribution ratio. To ensure uniformity between countries, these contribution ratios are utilized with published World Bank estimates of GDP. Once a standardized version of subnational GDP had been calculated, this value was further divided by the total population within the subnational unit. This subnational, per-person GDP value was multiplied by the grid cell population density to determine a GDP for the grid cell. Regional loss rates derived from the historical records of EM-DAT were utilized in conjecture with the vulnerability data within Global Flood Hazard Frequency and Distribution and the GDP per grid cell to assess the total economic loss risks posed by flood hazard. Since the resultant range of economic loss risks varied widely, the natural log was taken before classifying into deciles, 10 classes of approximately an equal number of grid cells.
