Disaster risk profile: Macedonia

The population and economy of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia are exposed to earthquakes and floods, with floods posing the greater risk. The model results for present-day risk shown in this risk profile are based on population and gross domestic product (GDP) estimates for 2015. The estimated damage caused by historical events is inflated to 2015 US dollars.

These risk profiles provide a preliminary view of disaster risk at the national level, and distribution of risk across regions of the country and types of assets. They enable the identification and prioritization of risk, to guide risk management activities and identify the need for further, more detailed risk assessment.
