Country-specific CODs (COD-CS)

Open

Overview

Country-specific CODs (COD-CS) represent local hazards and operational requirements such as key infrastructure that could be impacted or used during relief operations such as schools, health facilities, and refugee camps, or topographical data such as rivers, land cover and elevation.

Unlike COD-ABs, COD-PSs, and COD-EMs, COD-CSs may be prepared before or after an emergency. The appropriate types of COD-CS depend on the nature and context of a country or emergency. See the following pages for further guidance.

• Natural Disaster CODs

• Complex Emergency CODs

Databases must satisfy various conditions to be a COD-CS.
