Humanitarian SimulationData Sandbox

Baseline Data Now Available!

On this page you will find datasets to support you in responding to the humanitarian challenges you may face during the simulation. Not all the datasets may be necessary for you depending on your priorities and approach, so use them at your discretion. Additionally, the data required for your objectives may not be included in the data assets provided, so feel free to BYOD (Bring your own data) or hunt for additional information and resources online.

You will find baseline data to support your team below, and additional datasets will be made available here throughout the simulation. Feel free to download and dive into the data ahead of the simulation, do some preparation, and perhaps gather additional data resources that you would like to use during the simulation.

Nyiragongo Eruption Response Package

This data package includes various resources that may aid in responding to the Nyiragongo eruption. We have also mapped and included shapes for the current known extent of the lava flows.
NOTE: The lava appears to be flowing very quickly! We will do our best to map the extent of the lava flows as frequently as possible and provide updated shapes in subsequent data releases.

Funding Data

This data package includes information on humanitarian funding. FTS publishes data on humanitarian funding flows as reported by donors and recipient organizations. It presents all humanitarian funding to a country and funding that is specifically reported or that can be specifically mapped against funding requirements stated in humanitarian response plans. The data comes from OCHA’s Financial Tracking Service, is encoded as utf-8 and the second row of the CSV contains HXL tags.
