Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED)

The Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) is an organization that studies disasters and their impacts on communities, helping to improve understanding and response strategies. Established in 1973, CRED collects and analyzes data on natural and man-made disasters worldwide, focusing on their effects on health, displacement, and economic loss. By providing accurate statistics and research, CRED supports governments, organizations, and researchers in planning and responding more effectively to crises, ultimately aiming to reduce the suffering caused by disasters and enhance resilience in vulnerable populations.
