Description

NATCATEFDK indicates whether the household respondent did not know the effect of a natural disaster on the household in the past 12 months.

The information in NATCATEFDK 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.
