Cameroon Risk Assessment Indicators for Flood Hazards at Admin Level 2

Seven indicator layers for Cameroon's administrative level 2 districts, derived from HeiGIT's GAIA Pipeline and last updated on 2026-04-13. The data integrates open sources like WorldPop, OpenStreetMap, and Google Earth Engine using HDX COD-AB boundaries. It includes measures for access to services, facility counts, demographics, vulnerability, and flood exposure to support structured risk assessment.

Use Cases

• Modeling flood risk exposure based on the CMR_ADM2_flood_exposure layer.
• Assessing community coping capacity based on combined access to services and facility data.
• Analyzing demographic vulnerability using age and gender composition variables.
• Mapping population access to healthcare and education within specific travel times and distances.

Strengths

• Data is structured across seven distinct thematic layers for modular analysis.
• Indicators are derived from established open data sources like WorldPop and OpenStreetMap.
• Geographic aggregation uses standardized HDX COD-AB boundaries at admin level 2.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation for the rural_population layer is absent.
