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

Egypt risk assessment indicators at the district level (admin level 2) produced by HeiGIT in 2026. The data integrates population, infrastructure, and accessibility metrics from WorldPop and OpenStreetMap to support flood hazard analysis across seven thematic layers.

Use Cases

• Assessing healthcare resilience by analyzing the access_pop_hospitals_30min column across different districts
• Planning emergency evacuations for vulnerable groups using children_u5 and elderly demographic data
• Mapping educational infrastructure gaps using the education_count and access_pop_education_5km fields

Strengths

• Admin level 2 granularity for localized risk assessment
• Includes specific travel-time metrics (30, 60, and 120 minutes) for healthcare access
• Derived from the GAIA Pipeline integrating WorldPop and OpenStreetMap

Limitations

• Potential data gaps in OpenStreetMap-derived facility counts in remote or rural districts
• Coping capacity is a composite indicator which may mask underlying data variances
