Disaster Log Citations

Name: Ghana Disaster Log Citations
Creator: As cited; see url

The sources behind every figure in disaster_log: one row per figure per source, with the event it belongs to, which figure it supports (deaths, injured, missing, displaced, affected, houses_destroyed, or event for a source that establishes the event itself), the value used, and the URL, publisher and publication date of the page that states it. 262 citations across 97 events; every one was checked against the text of the page it points to when the log was compiled. Compiled by API Ghana; each row links to its own source. 262 records.
