11.5.3а Damage to critical infrastructure

11.5.3 (a) Damage to critical infrastructure and (b) number of disruptions to basic services, attributed to disasters

11.5 By 2030, significantly reduce the number of deaths and the number of people affected and substantially decrease the direct economic losses relative to global gross domestic product caused by disasters, including water-related disasters, with a focus on protecting the poor and people in vulnerable situations

Goal 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable

This indicator measures the number of damage to critical infrastructure.

A short summary:

The original national disaster loss databases usually register physical damage value (housing unit loss, infrastructure loss etc.), which needs conversion to monetary value according to the UNISDR methodology. The converted global value is divided by global GDP (inflation adjusted, constant USD) calculated from the World Bank Development Indicators.

Computation methodology this indicator and several others is very comprehensive, very long (about 180 pages) and probably out of the scope of this Metadata.
