EM-DAT: International Disaster Database

www.em-dat.net

This database provides information on worldwide disasters, both natural and technological, that have occurred since 1900.  You can browse by country or type of disaster (drought, wildfire, flood, volcano, transportation accident, etc.), or perform a more advanced search.  The fires in southern California haven’t made the list yet, but you can see how they compare to other wildfires.
