About Somalia Municipality Risk Dashboard
The Somalia Municipality Risk Dashboard is an interactive web-based Geographic Information System (GIS) built to support municipal risk management, land administration, and spatial planning across Somalia. It brings together land parcels, administrative boundaries, buildings, roads, landmarks, and other geospatial layers in one platform to enable visualization, analysis, and evidence-based urban decision-making.
Purpose
The Somalia Municipality Risk Dashboard is designed to strengthen municipal risk management by giving users access to reliable geospatial information for planning and decision-making. It supports government institutions, planners, surveyors, researchers, and development partners with practical tools to map hazards and exposure, analyze urban risk patterns, monitor land use dynamics, and guide resilient, evidence-based development across Somalia.
