Afghanistan Natural Disasters Dashboard

Project overview

This project visualizes natural disaster patterns and their impacts across Afghanistan to support disaster management and awareness. Built with Tableau, the dashboard reveals frequency, geographic distribution, and severity trends over time.

The visualization helps identify high-risk regions and disaster types, supporting preparedness and resource allocation. It is intended for policymakers, humanitarian organizations, and researchers working on disaster response and mitigation.

Dataset / source

Historical natural-disaster records for Afghanistan (event types such as earthquakes, floods, and droughts), including dates, locations, disaster types, and impact-related fields used for mapping and trends.

Tools used

Tableau.

What problem you solved

Disaster awareness and planning needed a single interactive, map-led view of where and when disasters occur, which types dominate, and how impact is distributed—so stakeholders can spot high-risk areas and prioritize response and preparedness.

Key insights

• Geography
