Caritas PDRA Analysis tool

The Caritas Participatory Disaster Risk Assessment (PDRA) Analysis Tool is a QGIS plugin that performs different analysis using Caritas Philippines PDRA data.

Versions

The tool has 2 working versions: the shp-version and the gpkg-version. Both versions work in exactly the same way but vary on the type of input they are optimized for.

gpkg-version

• optimized for handling PDRA data in GeoPackage (.gpkg) format where the FIELDNAMES are the INDICATOR_NAMES provided in the PDRA Indicator List CSV

shp-version

• optimized for handling PDRA data in Shapefile (.shp) format where the FIELDNAMES are the INDICATOR_CODES provided in the PDRA Indicator List CSV

PDRA Indicators CSV

Comma-separated value (CSV) files containing the PDRA indicators used in the analysis can be found in the indicators folder.

PDRA Household Indicators

• FILE : pdra-household-indicators.csv
• COLUMNS
  • INDICATOR_CODE - used as FIELDNAME for the shp-version
  • INDICATOR_NAME - used as FIELDNAME in the gpkg-version
  • CATEGORY - Indicator category (e.g. Hazard, Vulnerability, Capacity, Risk)
  • VALUE - Value of the Indicator in computing for the household's level of Hazard, Vulnerability, and Capacity. A value of 1 means that the household's level (of Hazard, Vulnerability, or Capacity depending on the indicator category) is increased when the indicator is present.
