Climate & Health Risk Intelligence for Northwest Nigeria # 🌍 HazardIQ **Climate & Health Risk Intelligence for Northwest Nigeria** > *Know the risk. Protect the child.* Built by Katsina Digital Innovation Hub (KDIH) · Supported by Tony Elumelu Foundation License: MIT · Open Source --- ## What is HazardIQ? HazardIQ is an open-source, data-driven Climate & Health Vulnerability Scoring System that aggregates climate, demographic, health facility, and social data to generate actionable risk scores at LGA and ward level across Katsina State and Northwest Nigeria. Children and women in Northwest Nigeria face compounding climate and health risks — extreme heat, seasonal flooding, drought, desertification, and climate-driven disease outbreaks — yet no accessible, ward-level decision-support tool exists. HazardIQ bridges that gap. --- ## Features - **LGA-level vulnerability scoring** across four dimensions - **Interactive dashboard** built with Streamlit + Plotly - **Downloadable reports** (CSV) for government and programme use - **Open-source** and adaptable for any UNICEF programme country - **Low-bandwidth friendly** — runs on standard government devices --- ## Vulnerability Dimensions | Dimension | Weight | Indicators | |---|---|---| | Climate Exposure | 30% | Flood risk, drought index, extreme heat, desertification | | Health System Fragility | 25% | Facility density, skilled birth attendance, outbreak history | | Child & Maternal Vulnerability | 25% | Under-5 density, malnutrition, out-of-school children | | Socioeconomic Stress | 20% | Poverty headcount, women's exclusion, displacement | --- ## Risk Classification | Level | Score | Meaning | |---|---|---| | 🔴 Critical | ≥ 75 | Immediate prioritisation required | | 🟠 High | 50–74 | Urgent intervention needed | | 🟡 Medium | 30–49 | Monitor and plan | | 🟢 Low | < 30 | Maintain current coverage | --- ## Data Sources - IOM DTM Nigeria Displacement Data (HDX) - GRID3 Nigeria — Operational Wards & Health Facilities - NBS Nigeria — Subnational Population Estimate …
