As the planet's average temperature continues to rise because of global warming, climate change is causing an increasing number of unpredictable weather-related disasters, which correspondingly cause increasing damages.Natural disaster statistics mainly include data on lives lost, property damaged, and recovery; however, because of changes in administrative and statistical survey items, natural disaster statistics are currently not collected as time series statistics that include historical data.Therefore, this study examines the method securing continuity of natural disaster statistics to improve the utilization of time series analysis.The results are expected to increase the continuity of natural disaster statistics and serve as more accurate basic data that facilitate direct comparisons and analysis of data from different times, which was previously impossible.
