Somalia Districts Impacted by 2010 Tropical Cyclone Bandu

IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Center (ICPAC) produced this geospatial data documenting the impact of Tropical Cyclone Bandu on Somalia in May 2010. It records the effects of 45-knot winds and flooding across districts including Bossaso, Jamaame, and Afgooye, where over 31,000 people were displaced.

Use Cases

• Estimating humanitarian aid requirements based on the 12,000 displaced persons in Bari
• Spatial analysis of flood-affected regions along the Shabelle River

Strengths

• Multi-format availability including SHP, GEOJSON, and XLSX
• Sourced from the IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Center (ICPAC)
• Includes specific displacement figures for districts like Bari and Lower Juba

Limitations

• Missing column definitions and schema details
• Restricted to a single 2010 weather event
• Geographic scope is limited to specific affected districts in Somalia
