India buildings and infrastructure data
+ Follow new data3 datasets about buildings and infrastructure in India.
Building footprints across the area: every feature tagged `building=*`, from residential homes to hospitals, schools, and places of worship. Useful for population estimation, damage assessment, and urban planning. Coverage reflects where volunteer mappers have been active. Urban areas are usually well represented, remote areas may be sparse. Cross-check critical decisions with local field knowledge. - Source: OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map - Tags: building - Part of the country exports on HDX by HOT

TSR gust footprint for Cyclonic Storm FANI - 2019-May 3 - Credit: Tropical Storm Risk/UCL Issued about 3 hours after it made landfall ~15km to the west of Puri in Odisha state, India. The gust footprint shows the magnitude and extent of the peak winds from FANI at landfall and immediately thereafter. Our model indicates that the peak gust at landfall was 150-160 mph and that gusts of 100 mph and over extend over a swathe width of ~100 km. The wind damage from FANI will almost certainly be severe. This damage will be exacerbated by heavy rains and an expected high storm surge. Unfortunately the forecast wind swathe for FANI is in line with the heavily populated cities of Bhubaneshwar and Cuttack.
