Information platform for crisis and disaster data

As part of the project ‘Vulnerability, preparedness and resilience in crises – data infrastructures for the research of societal crisis phenomena’ and with the support of a working group of the German Data Forum (RatSWD), an information platform on data relevant to crises and disasters was developed. The platform aims to contribute to the better findability and usability of data to empirically analyse issues in the context of crises and disasters from a social science perspective.

The portal includes a collection of resources with information pages, data sets and survey instruments as well as guidelines on related topics.
