Brazil 2024
This page shows the recommended structure for a WSI country-year profile. The current draft presents a conservative WSI Core figure together with scope, interpretation notes, and module-level transparency.
Scope statement
Current headline reflects audited displacement-related core rows from the Rio Grande do Sul floods. The profile should be read as a measured lower bound on suffering for the included harms and time windows, not as a complete accounting of all suffering in Brazil in 2024.
Tracked but not yet in the headline: dengue burden and broader disruption modules that still require final integration/audit in the website-facing output.
At a glance
| Country | Brazil |
|---|---|
| Year | 2024 |
| WSI layer shown | Core |
| Population denominator | 211,998,573 |
| Interpretation | Measured lower bound |
| Status | Current release candidate |
Module breakdown
A country-year profile should always show how the headline number was constructed. That is what makes WSI inspectable rather than black-box.
Why this chart matters
Readers should never see a WSI headline without the corresponding module mix. This design keeps the profile defensible, and it also makes it easier to compare profiles without implying a simplistic one-number ranking.
| Module | Metric used | Value used | Window | WSI contribution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Emergency shelter displacement | People in shelters | 66,434 | Snapshot 8 May 2024 | 1.05M USU |
| Temporary displacement (not in shelters) | Displaced outside shelters | 158,992 | Snapshot 8 May 2024 | 1.19M USU |
Events and conditions considered
- Rio Grande do Sul flood displacement (currently included in headline)
- Dengue outbreak (tracked, integration pending in website-facing release)
- Flood-related non-displaced disruption (tracked, not yet in current headline)
How this template should scale
Every country-year page should follow the same structure: headline Core, per-capita Core, scope statement, module breakdown, sources, and downloads. That consistency is more important than adding many decorative features.
Sources and downloads
This section should make each profile auditable. In the live site, every source row should link directly to the underlying document where feasible.
| Source family | Current source | Status |
|---|---|---|
| IDMC / official displacement-aligned reporting | Rio Grande do Sul Civil Defense bulletin (8 May 2024, 09:00) | Included in headline |
| WHO/PAHO surveillance | PAHO/WHO dengue update (EW1–23 2024) | Tracked; not yet reflected in current homepage headline |
Suggested live-page additions later: workbook download, CSV export, source register, and methodology version tag.
