gem / global_exposure_model Goto Github PK

Currently, exposure models at ID1 only include the occupancy tag.

We should include the taxonomy and other relevant fields (e.g., the number of occupants at different times of the day, settlement type, number of floors, and area per floor when available).

Hi, I noticed a few issues with the Adm1 boundaries in the exposure model. I'm only posting the issues that I verified should be different in both the GADM administrative boundaries and OpenStreetMap admin_boundaries. Is it possible to look into these districts and change the respective exposure?

To verify I have used the up-to-date OSM boundaries and the GADM boundaries v4.1.
