HeiGIT's Morocco Risk Assessment Indicators dataset aggregates demographic, environmental, infrastructure, accessibility, and hazard-related data at administrative level 2. It integrates open data from WorldPop, OpenStreetMap, and Google Earth Engine using HDX COD-AB boundaries. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-27.
Use Cases
- Calculate population exposure to flood hazards based on flood exposure indicators.
- Assess district coping capacity by combining access to services and facility count data.
- Analyze demographic vulnerability using age and gender composition data.
- Evaluate accessibility to critical services like education and healthcare using travel time metrics.
- Map essential facility distribution for disaster preparedness planning.
Strengths
- Data is aggregated at administrative level 2, providing a structured geographic unit for analysis.
- Integrates multiple open data sources including WorldPop, OpenStreetMap, and Google Earth Engine.
- Includes seven distinct indicator layers covering access, facilities, coping capacity, demographics, rural population, vulnerability, and flood exposure.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent for some indicator layers; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
