Evaluating Changes in Health Risk from Drought Over the Contiguous United States

This is datasets supporting an article with the same name submitted to the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH). It contains processed initial datasets of the research, that contains different datasets needed to create the matrix of vulnerability ratios. Files with names starting in digits (01 to 06) provide downloaded and cleaned datasets for the vulnerabilities and hazards that are used for further analyses. Files with names starting in alphabets (A to F) are the results of analyses supporting each figure in the manuscript. The goal of this study was to distinguish and map categorical health risk levels of drought and its vulnerability and hazard components for two 5 year periods of 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 and their changes.
