Description

Definition

NATCATEFINFRA indicates whether the destruction of infrastructure (that was important to the household) was an effect of a natural disaster in the past 12 months.

The information in NATCATEFINFRA 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.
