Measuring the State of Disaster Philanthropy: Data to Drive Decisions
At below-average frequency, disasters resulted in over 7,800 fatalities, affected 140.8 million people, and caused $99.2 billion in damages in 2014. Yet disaster giving only generated $22.5 billion, and most went to Ebola. So how can we mitigate the impact of disasters and build more resilient communities?
