Description

Definition
NATCATYR indicates whether the household was affected by a natural catastrophe, such as a severe weather event, in the past 12 months.

The information in NATCATYR is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
