Data Release–A Conceptual Framework for Estimation of Initial Emergency Food and Water Resource Requirements in Disasters

This is the FINAL_RISK_CALC shapefile for running the food and water requirements model, and the FINAL shapefile of results of a practical application of a simplified, deterministic model of initial resource requirements in disaster response, connected with the publication, "A Conceptual Framework for Estimation of Initial Emergency Food and Water Resource Requirements in Disasters" (Toland, J., Wein, A., Wu, A. and Spearing, L, 2023). This dataset provides the results of a simplified, deterministic model of initial resource requirements in disaster response, within the geophysical hazard context of the “ShakeOut” scenario—a major Mw 7.8 earthquake on California’s San Andreas Fault, occurring within the Los Angeles Basin, CA (USA) region. Point data (centroids) are used in analysis from ambient population count by ~1- km (30-arcsecond) raster grid cells within a subset of the LandScan Global Population Database (2015) in The State of California including: Imperial, Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Ventura Counties. Projected to WGS 1984 UTM 11N. This is an experimental product for application in a simulated earthquake scenario. Actual resource needs will vary, depending on the event.
