VulneraCity – the Indicator and Data extension (VC-InDat)

MYRIAD-EU has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101003276.

VulneraCity – the Indicator and Data extension (VC-InDat) is a comprehensive overview of vulnerability drivers, indicators, data, and dynamics of disaster vulnerability in an urban context. It can be used in vulnerability scoping exercises. More specifically, it can be used to: (1) explore what drives vulnerability in a city; (2) find existing (large-scale) urban vulnerability data; (3) get inspired about the type of data required in local-scale urban vulnerability assessments. VC-InDat has information for six natural hazards (droughts, pluvial and coastal flooding, earthquakes, heatwaves, and waterborne diseases) and a variety of vulnerability sub-dimensions. It is based on extensive literature and data reviews, and builts upon the urban vulnerability drivers database VulneraCity (see: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8282814).
