| description | Natural disasters generate profound socio-economic changes in the affected
communities. A consistent methodology that allows quantifying its impacts is essential for the
implementation of adaptation and mitigation policies. The objective of this work is to provide a
systematic review of existing methodologies to quantify the economic impact derived from the
occurrence of natural disasters. To do this, a keyword search is conducted in two search
engines (Scopus and Science Direct).
The results suggest the existence of wide differences between methodological
proposals. Consideration of physical damage (direct effect) is more frequent than the impact
on productive flows (indirect effect). The destruction of the natural environment (loss of
ecosystem services) is not usually included. In the context of global climate change, these
findings highlight the importance of having a consistent methodology. |
