Examine how social conditions and environmental hazards overlap.
Data package / Dataset R
Examine social conditions that can make a neighbourhood more vulnerable if flooding occurs, alongside available flood disadvantage and flood-area data.
The 2025 neighbourhood index is UK-wide; other datasets have different coverage and dates. Social vulnerability and hazard exposure answer different questions.
Dataset Data files
Explore where heat exposure and social vulnerability combine in England, Wales and Scotland.
Downloadable data use different methods for Scotland and England/Wales. Northern Ireland is not included; check the baseline or warming scenario and the national classification.
Data package R
Explore the overlap between social vulnerability and modelled spring or summer wildfire risk.
Requires R. Scores are standardised separately within each UK nation and are not live incident forecasts.
App Web browser, R / Shiny for local use
Compare overlaps and differences between disaster risk, resilience and vulnerability maps in a browser.
Check the app’s dataset definitions and geographical coverage. Overlapping classifications do not establish causes or determine priorities.
Choose the hazard and geographical scale relevant to your question, then read the source methodology. Distinguish exposure from social vulnerability and check which comparisons each measure supports. These resources provide evidence for discussion with local knowledge; they are not a connected pipeline or a service for predicting the next incident.
Data package R
Find geographical boundaries and lookups when you need to relate a hazard dataset to other evidence.
Requires R and is under development. Check geography codes, boundary editions and aggregation methods.
These projects provide research material or source files. Check their documentation and development status before using the outputs.
Research project R
Inspect research prototyping overlapping dimensions of vulnerability.
The README identifies a prototype but does not document geographical coverage or operational suitability. No hosted app is documented.
