About us
The Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) has been active for over 40 years in the fields of international disaster and conflict health studies, with activities linking relief, rehabilitation and development. The Centre promotes research, training and technical expertise on humanitarian emergencies, particularly in public health and epidemiology.
CRED's research scope includes two main axes: natural disasters and crisis situations caused by civil strife, conflict or others. CRED studies broader aspects of humanitarian crises and emergencies, such as socio-economic, gender and environmental issues, with a strong focus on the special needs of vulnerable groups such as women and children.
By providing a wealth of data on health issues arising from disasters and conflict, CRED seeks to improve needs-based preparedness and responses to humanitarian emergencies.
The Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT) was developed in 1988 with the aim to rationalise decision making for disaster preparedness, while also providing an objective base for vulnerability assessment and priority setting. EM-DAT contains essential core data on the occurrence and effects of over 18,000 mass disasters all over the world, running from 1900 to the present.
CE-DAT: Complex Emergency Database
The Complex Emergency Database (CE-DAT) was created in 2003 as an international initiative to monitor and evaluate the health status of populations affected by complex emergencies. The CE-DAT database is a compilation of mortality and malnutrition rates - in other words, the most commonly used public health indicators of the severity of humanitarian crises. We are currently looking for funding to reinitiate this project!
Data access policy new public EM-DAT tool
The Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) within the Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain) provides free access to the full Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT) for non-commercial purposes. Users on behalf of academic organizations, universities, non-profit organisations and/or international public organization (UN agencies, multi-lateral banks, other multi-lateral institution and national governments), are granted free access to EM-DAT, after acceptance of the present conditions of use.

Access shall be granted to EM-DAT upon proof of payment of the corresponding annual fee, as agreed upon in the Database License Agreement.
We are currently preparing two publications based on the SCORCH project. The first publication will focus on heatwave preparedness and risk perception in Tunisia, Georgia and Israel whereas the second publication will focus on roles that different stakeholders have in national heatwave health actions plans in countries in Europe.
