Additional Info

ID of dataset	SSD_hzd-flood
Publisher of dataset	GFDRR
Dataset version	2019
Data purpose	The results of the analysis contribute to the production of knowledge for disaster risk management (DRM) to support the World Bank’s operational teams in their in-country engagements. Specifcally, the key fndings of this study allow to rank South Sudan states in terms of natural disasters risk, and to identify the most critical components for each area. The output of this assessment includes a geodatabase which contains both the key primary data and all the resulting maps produced by the analysis, allowing risk analysts and managers to explore them in detail using GIS software.
