Quality The production of the multihazard surface began by isolating those deciles most at-risk (deciles 8-10) of the individual hazard surfaces (Global Cyclone Proportional Economic Loss Risks, Global Drought Proportional Economic Loss Risks, etc.). These surfaces are reclassified into binary representing those areas considered most at-risk. Hazard categories are created by grouping specific hazards ... View entire text
