Developing a large-scale, fine-resolution dataset of flood fatalities for territories in the Euro-Mediterranean region and beyond

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
This data paper describes the multinational Database of Flood Fatalities from the Euro-Mediterranean region FFEM-DB that hosts data of 2,875 food fatalities from 12 territories (nine of which represent entire countries) in Europe and the broader Mediterranean region from 1980 to 2020. The FFEM-DB database provides data on fatalities' profles, location, and contributing circumstances, allowing researchers and food risk managers to explore demographic, behavioral, and situational factors, as well as environmental features of food-related mortality. The standardized data collection and classifcation methodology enable comparison between regions beyond administrative boundaries. The FFEM-DB is expandable, regularly updated, publicly available, and with anonymized data. The key advantages of the FFEM-DB compared to existing datasets containing food fatalities are its high level of detail, data accuracy, record completeness, and the large sample size from an extended area.
