Review First Street Foundation Climate Risk dataset #7

Open sigmafelix opened 7 months ago

sigmafelix commented 7 months ago

First Street Foundation Climate Risk Publicly Available Data provides four types of climate risks including flood, heat, wind, and fire. Publicly available data are shared via Amazon S3, which seems to allow them to control whom they grant access to and until when the access would be available, etc. Basically the datasets comprise quite small CSV files for spatial scales of census tracts, ZCTAs, counties, states, and nation (of course, in the US). The public data seem to be based on property-level risk scores, from which the counts in several risk categories were calculated. I think I will use this dataset at census tract level to account for the potential risks of these climate risks on top of the actual hazard events.
