Honduras Risk Assessment Indicators: Admin Level 2 Disaster Resilience Data

HeiGIT provides risk assessment indicators for Honduras aggregated at the administrative level 2 (municipality) scale. The dataset integrates demographic, infrastructure, and hazard exposure data from WorldPop and OpenStreetMap to support flood and cyclone resilience analysis.

Use Cases

• Evaluating emergency healthcare reach by analyzing the access_pop_hospitals_30min column
• Prioritizing disaster relief resources based on the children_u5 and elderly demographic counts
• Mapping infrastructure gaps using education_count and primary_healthcare_count across districts

Strengths

• Aggregated at the granular administrative level 2 (municipality)
• Includes specific travel-time accessibility metrics (30, 60, and 120 minutes) for hospitals
• Integrates multi-source data from WorldPop, OpenStreetMap, and Google Earth Engine

Limitations

• Potential under-reporting of facilities in rural areas due to reliance on OpenStreetMap
• Lack of specific timestamps for the underlying hazard exposure layers
