In this paper we?first?spatialized the area of seismic-intensity zone(Sa),the death toll(Nd),the injury toll(Ni),and the direct economic losses(Ld)resulting from 167 devastating earthquakes which occurred from 1900 to 2016 in Yunnan Province. Then,using the Entropy Weight Method,we determined the weight coefficients of these 4 indexes:Sa,Nd,Ni,andLd. According to the weight coefficients,we further proposed 5 levels for the historical earthquake disasters in each county of Yunnan. We found that the earthquake-disaster losses are much more severe in Lijiang city and Dali county of northwest Yunnan,north part of Dehong county of west Yunnan,northwest part of Pu’er city in southwest Yunnan,south part of Yuxi city and north part of Honghe county of south Yunnan,north part of Chuxiong city in central Yunnan,and Zhaotong city of northeast Yunnan.
