Additional Info

Source model name AF-MHRA
Model release date 2016
Dataset version 1
Data purpose These maps have been derived on a nation-wide scale for the purpose of identifying high risk- areas on the district and provincial scale, from which decisions can be made on allocating efforts for more detailed site specific hazard and risk analysis. Use of this information on smaller scales should be applied with care. Importantly for on a local scale, it is often the case that more detailed case history and hazard information is required to perform such hazard and risk modelling, particularly where applied to dimension mitigation structures or strategies.
Project that produced the dataset Afghanistan Multi-Hazard Risk Assessment (MHRA)
