Open Access Resources

Data, tools, and maps for African hazard and resilience analysis

AADRI supports open-access data and tools for hazard analysis, risk assessment, and decision support across African contexts. This framing comes directly from the AADRI-specific text embedded in the College reference codebase.

  • Hazard and risk maps
  • Vulnerability and resilience indices
  • Climate and disaster modelling tools
  • Decision-support systems for policy and planning
