METEOR is a three year project that started in February2018 with a focus on Nepal and Tanzania. It is developinginnovative Earth Observation (EO) routines to deliverrobust national-scale exposure and multi-hazard data andinvestigating the interaction of multi-hazards and theirpotential impacts on exposure. We are utilising a range ofsatellite imagery including radar and day- night-timeoptical.
METEOR takes a step-change by co-developing anddelivering rigorous and open routines (protocols) andstandards to allow quantitative assessment of exposurewith explicit uncertainties.

Our work is co-designed and co-delivered with ourpartners. The process of building capacity and co-delivering new consistent data will promote welfare andeconomic development and demonstrate theapplicability of the techniques elsewhere. METEORprogress is tracked within the project by a dedicatedMonitoring & Evaluation process that includes baseline,midline and endline interviews.
Geohazard data will be developed and openly disseminated
Risk = Hazard x Exposure x Vulnerability
The exposure data is being co-developed with partners inNepal and Tanzania, with country-wide openly-availabledata subsequently delivered for the 47 least developedcountries in the DAC list of ODA recipients.
All METEOR results (listed below) will be openly andfreely disseminated:• Exposure taxonomy and data models• Country-wide exposure data for 47 countries• National-scale hazard footprints (Nepal and Tanzania)• Training materials and tutorials• Information to help make better-informed DRM
decisions that meet the demands of internationaldrivers (e.g. UN Sustainable Development Goals andthe Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction)
Country-wide exposure data will be produced for the countries on the ODA LDC list

The escalating impacts of natural hazards are causedmostly by increasing exposure of populations and assets.Poor understanding of the distribution and character ofexposure (buildings and infrastructure) and hazards inODA countries is a major challenge when making DisasterRisk Management (DRM) decisions locally, nationally andglobally. Robust and quantitative methods are required tojustify resilience decisions and risk mitigation.
National-scale geohazard footprints are beingdeveloped and provided openly for Nepal and Tanzania.
