Description
Ten cities, including Istanbul, Nairobi, and Quito, provide hazard data for earthquake, flood, landslide, and debris flow scenarios. The dataset contains simulated hazard maps and intensity measures like VS30, SA, and flood depth, created for the Tomorrows Cities virtual testbed. It is supported by NERC as part of the GCRF Urban Disaster Risk Hub.
Use Cases
Modeling earthquake impacts based on simulated seismic event intensity measures (VS30, SA).
Assessing flood risk based on simulated flood depth data from heavy rainfall or riverine events.
Analyzing landslide and debris flow susceptibility triggered by heavy rainfall scenarios.
Comparing multi-hazard vulnerability across different urban case study areas.
Strengths
Covers 10 distinct cities across multiple continents.
Includes four hazard types: earthquake, flood, landslide, and debris flow.
Provides scenario-specific hazard parameter files detailing the source and methodology.
Limitations
Not every city contains data for all four hazard types.
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
