Description

Definition

NATCATEFHOME indicates whether damage or destruction of the household's home was an effect of a natural disaster in the past 12 months.

The information in NATCATEFHOME 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.
