Definition:

This indicator measures the number of damaged or destroyed critical infrastructure attributed to disasters, including health and education facilities, as well as the number of disruptions to basic services.

Concepts:

Disasters: A serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society at any scale due to hazardous events interacting with conditions of exposure, vulnerability and capacity, leading to one or more of the following: human, material, economic and environmental losses and impacts (UNDRR, 2017, https://www.preventionweb.net/terminology/disaster).

Critical infrastructure: The physical structures, facilities, networks and other assets which provide services that are essential to the social and economic functioning of a community or society.

Basic services: Services that are needed for all of society to function effectively or appropriately.

Examples of basic services include water supply, sanitation, health care, and education. They also include services provided by critical infrastructure such as electricity, telecommunications, transport, and waste management that are needed for all of society to function. For this indicator, disruption, interruption or lower quality of basic services is proposed to be measured for the following public services:

Educational facilities: play schools, kindergartens, primary, secondary or middle schools, technical-vocational schools, colleges, universities, training centres, adult education, military schools and prison schools
Healthcare facilities: health centres, clinics, local, regional and tertiary hospitals, outpatient centres, health laboratories and in general facilities used by primary health providers
Power/energy system: generation facilities, transmission and distribution system and dispatch centres and other works
Sewerage system: sanitation and sanitary sewage systems and collection and treatment of solid waste.
Solid waste management: collection and treatment of solid waste.
Transport system: road networks, railways (including stations), airports and ports
Water supply: drinking water supply system (water outlets, water treatment plants, aqueducts and canals which carry drinking water, storage tanks.)
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) system: plants and telephone networks (telecommunication network), radio and television stations, post offices and public information offices, internet services, radio telephones and mobile phones.
Emergency Response: disaster management office, fire management service, police, army and emergency operation centres.

An open-ended intergovernmental expert working group on indicators and terminology relating to disaster risk reduction established by the General Assembly (resolution 69/284) is developing a set of indicators to measure global progress in the implementation of the Sendai Framework. These indicators will eventually reflect the agreements on the Sendai Framework indicators.
