EO4MULTIHAZARDS Events Database
FAIR Overall Score
Abstract
The EO4MULTIHAZARDS Events Database provides the scientific community with reliable data and promotes comprehensive research efforts on multi-hazard events. The collected datasets come from various sources and are updated automatically or manually when new data becomes available. The following is a list of data sources: - EMDAT portal provides a REST-API for authorized users to download data. - EFFIS portal provides a standard and open Web Feature Service (WFS) for downloading datasets. - British Geological Survey collects events datasets in United Kingdom and uploads new data to the database as it becomes available. Additionally the DB contains a list of Earth Observation datasets, useful to study natural hazard events. The collected information is available for visualization, but the full dataset is not downloadable due to license restrictions on the input data. Events are accessible via the web interface without restriction, and query results are available for download. Additional information is available on the Web Interface page. For this project, we harmonized the input datasets into a common format to easily compare them. The database was created in the project EO4MULTIHAZARDS, funded by the The European Space Agency’s (ESA).
