Suggested CODs for Natural Disasters
The following is a list of potential CODs three types of natural disasters and is in no particular order.
It is up to the IM network in country to identify what datasets are required as a common reference when preparing or responding to an emergency. Not all of these datasets are CODs!! The list was created with the support of the Coordinated Data Scramble(Global Level IMWG), the analytical framework – part of MIRA), the COD workshops (Berlin, April 2017 and Geneva, June 2017).
To identify CODs, use the Identifying a COD flow chart (seen above) if the IM network cannot decide if a dataset is a COD. Even if a dataset is not considered to be a COD it should still be shared on HDX as it could prove valuable to others.
