title: RPI Climate Risk Data Dump

description: This dataset contains shapefiles of climate risk metrics at Admin Level 2 for three countries: Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.

Climate risk metrics are based on population risk exposed for five hazards: inland flooding, coastal flooding, landslides, heatwaves, and droughts.

This dataset was produced as part of the Google.org funded Resilient Planet Initiative pilot project. Further details on the methodology can be found in the accompanying technical note.

Data are in shapefile format. Shapefile column attribute information provided in table below.
