World Vitals / Frequency, severity, and consequences
Track disasters, deaths, affected people, and economic losses across hazard types.
Disaster pages should separate event frequency from severity and exposure, and show reporting thresholds.
The primary charts now come from normalized database observations. Snapshot cards remain useful for latest values, but time series and paired relationships get chart types that match the question.
Database charts
These charts use normalized observations from the World Vitals database. Time-series charts show change; scatter plots show paired relationships where the data actually supports comparison.

This paired view separates land-system structure from emissions and climate impacts.
Each dot is one paired year. Hover or focus a dot for both values and the year it represents.
Metric snapshots
Snapshot and live-rate cards are kept separate from historical charts so they do not pretend to show a trend.
