[pacificdata.org](pacificdata.org) – the Pacific Data Hub – is the central repository of open data and knowledge products about the Pacific region. Anyone can access the public data on the Pacific Data Hub. You are encouraged to search, reuse and share the data on pacificdata.org.
The Pacific Data Hub holds a large and diverse collection of data, data insights, publications, and knowledge products on the Pacific across key sectors, including population statistics, fisheries, geoscience, agriculture, aquaculture, energy, education, human rights, climate change, and oceans, and it continues to grow.
While the intention is for the Pacific Data Hub to become a multi-stakeholder-owned and managed platform, it is currently a product of the Pacific Community (SPC), and as such is governed by SPC’s internal documents.
Let us know how you are using the data hub or if you wish to contribute to our data catalogue.

The Pacific Region is prone to many natural hazards that threaten populations and cause significant economic losses due to damage to the built environment and crops. An extensive study has been conducted to analyze the risk from tropical cyclones, earthquakes, and tsunamis. This included the generation of detailed exposure information to locate and characterize over 3.5 million buildings and infrastructure in 15 Pacific Island Countries1 (PICs). The impact that historical events have had on the people and assets of these countries has been investigated to understand the extent of adverse consequences that possible future events may bring. Ten thousand simulations of potential future annual tropical cyclone and earthquake activity in the Pacific Region have been carried out to estimate risk in terms of monetary loss and casualties. The country risk profiles derived from this study can be used to improve the resilience of these 15 PICs to natural hazards.
