This repository consists of the following files:

1. /data - folder containing the dataset used in the analysis
2. /images - output images used by and for the analysis
3. /presentation_other_formats - presentations in other formats that may be useful for you

Study Area

The regions that were affected includes: BARMM, CARAGA, Central Visayas, Eastern Visayas, Western Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao and Davao Region.

Impact Factors

The layers under the Impact factor of our analysis are as follows:

1. Number of Deaths
2. Number of Injuries
3. Number of Missing People
4. Non-passable Roads
5. Non-passable Bridges
6. Damaged Communication Lines
7. Number of Damaged Houses
8. Damage to Agriculture
9. Damage to Infrastructure
10. Distance from Path of Typhoon

This layer below is a combination of all the data above, which was then normalized and categorized into Low Impact, Medium Impact and High Impact.

Adaptive Capacity Features

1. City/Municipality
2. Regional Gross Domestic Product
3. Provincial 4 Pillars Score
4. Land Cover
5. Green Band
6. Change in Global Tree COver
7. Change in Global Biomass Carbon
8. Global Human Modification

The resolution of this analysis is only limited by the data that are publicly available online, however, the results of this analysis can be a good precursor as to where we need to perform further analysis at a higher resolution or as to where we could possibly start coordinating with the local government units.
