This repository contains a geospatial analysis of the flood impacts in Somalia, using GIS tools to assess damage to buildings, roads, agricultural land, and settlements.
The analysis uses spatial data to quantify the impact of flooding in BeletWeyne, including:
- Clipping buildings, roads, and land cover layers to the flood extent
- Calculating key statistics, such as the number of affected buildings, total road length, and flooded agricultural areas
- Categorizing agricultural land and assessing settlements within a 500-meter buffer of the flood zone
This project provides crucial insights for emergency planning, resource allocation, and understanding flood vulnerability.
To set up and run the analysis:
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/3bdillahiomar/Flood-Analysis-Somalia.gitMultiple data sources were utilized to perform the flood impact analysis, including:
- Flood Extent Data: Polygon representation of the flooded areas.
- Building Footprints: A dataset of buildings in BeletWeyne for impact assessment.
- Roads Data: A dataset of road networks used for calculating affected infrastructure.
- Land Cover Data: Used to assess the agricultural land impacted by the floods.
- Settlements Data: A dataset of settlements used to identify those within a 500-meter buffer of the flood zone.
Flood data is not stored online and can be shared upon request, either through the contact persona above or through the authors.
