CLIMAAXKorsou Phase 2 — Foundation Spatial Data for Curacao Climate Risk Assessment

CLIMAAXKorsou Phase 2 — Foundation Spatial Data for Curacao Climate Risk Assessment Project: CLIMAAXKorsou Phase 2Organization: Meteorological Department Curacao (MDC)Category: Exposure / VulnerabilityLicense: CC-BY-4.0 Description Spatial foundation data used across all four hazard assessments in the CLIMAAXKorsou Phase 2 climate risk assessment. These datasets provide the exposure and vulnerability layers that are combined with hazard-specific outputs (coastal flood, pluvial flood, heat stress, drought) to calculate risk. Files - `neighbourhoods.gpkg` — 366 spatial zones for Curacao (GeoPackage, EPSG:4326)  - 315 CBS neighbourhoods from Census 2023 (with demographics)  - 51 gap zones (uninhabited areas between neighbourhoods: national parks, industrial, coastal)  - Population: 154,640 total (100% coverage)  - Demographic fields: population, age groups (0-14, 15-64, 65+), elderly percentage, welfare dependency, chronic illness, overcrowding, water/electricity access  - Source: CBS Curacao Census 2023, processed by MDC with gap zone analysis - `ipcc_ar6_slr_caribbean.csv` — IPCC AR6 sea level rise projections for Caribbean  - 3 SSP scenarios: SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP5-8.5  - 3 percentiles: P17, P50, P83 (likely range)  - 2 time horizons: 2050, 2100  - Values in cm above present-day MSL (range: 14-88 cm)  - Source: IPCC AR6 Chapter 9, Table 9.9 - `fews_discharge.csv` — FEWS/Delft3D hydrological discharge model  - 7 rainfall intensities: 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 mm/hr  - 44,246 grid cells at 100m resolution (UTM 19N)  - Columns: cell_id, intensity_mm_hr, discharge_m3s  - Source: Deltares FEWS model for Curacao (MDC archive, ~2019)  - Note: Geometry not included in CSV. Grid cells are 100x100m polygons in UTM 19N.    Contact MDC for the spatial grid or see hydrology.fews_discharge in PostGIS. Usage These datasets are required by all four hazard workflows:- Neighbourhoods provide the spatial units for risk aggregation- IPCC SLR drives the coastal flood scenarios- FEWS discharge provides hydrological context for pluvial flood analysis The neighbourhoods GeoPackage can be loaded directly in QGIS, Python (geopandas), or R (sf).
