Assessing damage and loss Three key questions
PRE-DISASTER RISK ASSESSMENT:
Hazard, vulnerability, Exposure - Geospatial approach - Probabilistic Approach
DISASTER LOSSES (PAST EVENTS)
Loss Accounting - Recording impacts (damage and loss) - Measuring Trends
DISASTER LOSSES (FUTURE RISK)
- Downscaling climate scenarios using geospatial approaches - Probability of losses / Average Annual Loss
HOW MUCH IS AT RISK? HOW MUCH WAS LOST? HOW MUCH IS LIKELY TO BE LOST IN THE FUTURE?
- How much is at risk? - How much was lost? - How much likely to be lost in the future?

2015/2016 El Niño Impacts on fisheries
• Directly related to agriculture productivity including fisheries
• Amplifications of potential weather impacts
• Huge masses of warm water travel east across the Pacific Ocean and warm water changes storm systems in the atmosphere
• El Niño impacts chlorophyll concentration and phytoplankton bloom

Probabilistic Approach- Average Annual Loss (AAL): AAL in Pacific SIDS in agriculture sector (Vanuatu case study)
AAL data downloaded from the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Assessment and Financing Initiative (http://pcrafi.sopac.org/layers/), 2013
• Agriculture is the backbone of the Pacific Island economies.
• It is the main source of livelihood for the
population as well as a major export earner.
• The proportion of crop loss as a percentage of total AAL is significant as in the Pacific SIDS.

El Niño Loss Assessment [AAL*Amplification Factor]
• An El Niño year can have additional impacts on agriculture. • The El Niño amplification factor is a rough-and-ready way of
calculating the potential additional losses in the case of El Niño event in a country
• It is found using the ratio of country-level climatological parameters in the no-El Niño case and El Niño case
• For example, if 3 storms are expected in no-El Niño event and 5 storms are expected in El Niño event scenario, the amplification factor will be 5/3 = 1.67

An illustration on how El Niño information can be translated to response actions
Relevant information from El Niño information is extracted and placed into the situation
context to produce impact estimations;
With potential impact information available, response scenarios can be set-up
