Algeria Risk Assessment Indicators: District-Level Flood and Infrastructure Data

HeiGIT provides risk assessment indicators for Algeria at the admin level 2 (district) scale, derived from the GAIA Pipeline. The dataset integrates demographic, infrastructure, and flood exposure data from sources like WorldPop and OpenStreetMap to support disaster resilience analysis. It was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Flood risk modeling using DZA_ADM2_flood_exposure to identify high-risk districts
• Healthcare accessibility analysis by mapping access_pop_hospitals_30min against elderly population counts
• Educational infrastructure planning using education_count and pop_u15 to identify underserved areas

Strengths

• Admin level 2 granularity for all indicators
• Includes specific travel-time metrics (30min, 1h, 2h) for healthcare access
• Integrates data from WorldPop, OpenStreetMap, and Google Earth Engine

Limitations

• Facility counts (e.g., hospitals_count) rely on OpenStreetMap data which may have varying completeness across different regions of Algeria
• Flood exposure methodology details are not explicitly provided in the metadata
