This poses a challenge for humanitarian stakeholders in decision and policy making, especially in risk reduction, response, recovery, and reconstruction. The new disaster metrics tool titled "The YEW Disaster Severity Index" (DSI) was developed and presented at the 2017 World Congress of Disaster and Emergency Medicine, May 2017, Toronto, Canada.

A Disaster Severity Index (DSI) similar to the Richter Scale and the Mercalli Scale has been formulated; this will quantify needs, holistically and objectively, in the hands of any stakeholders and even across timelines.
Background: An agreed terminology in quantifying "disaster" matters; inconsistency in measuring it by stakeholders posed a challenge globally in formulating legislation and policies responding to it.
