Papua New Guinea Risk Indicators for Flood Hazard Assessment at District Level

Seven indicator layers for Papua New Guinea provide demographic, infrastructure, and hazard data aggregated at the second administrative level. The data is derived from HeiGIT's GAIA Pipeline, integrating open sources like WorldPop, OpenStreetMap, and Google Earth Engine. It was last updated on 2026-04-13.

Use Cases

• Modeling flood exposure risk based on the PNG_ADM2_flood_exposure layer.
• Assessing community coping capacity based on combined access and facilities data.
• Analyzing demographic vulnerability for disaster response planning based on age and gender composition.
• Mapping access to critical services like education and healthcare for emergency preparedness.

Strengths

• Includes seven distinct indicator layers covering demographics, facilities, access, and hazard exposure.
• Data is aggregated at the second administrative level (ADM2) for structured spatial analysis.
• Integrates multiple authoritative open data sources including WorldPop and OpenStreetMap.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
