Guide to using Mapper
The interactive map provides a simple way to look for disaster events. You can filter the events shown on the map by disaster type and date range. When you first see the map, it shows all disasters across all time periods.
To turn a disaster category on or off, click on the relevant icon. If the icon has a purple colour, the category is turned on. A black background indicates the category is turned off.
Finding disaster information When you find a disaster you are interested in, click on the Icon. On the right hand side of the screen, you will find brief summary information on the event. Below that information, there is a 'View Event' button. Click on this button to go to the disaster record for more information.
