Robust derivative of VMap0 - Ed5 data layers with harmonized encoding. The AIRPT_PT shapefile data layer is comprised of 762 derivative vector framework library features derived based on 1:1 000 000 data originally from VMap0, 5th Edition. The layer provides nominal analytical/mapping at 1:1 000 000. Data processing complete globally, this is an African subset. Acronyms and Abbreviations: VMap0 - Vector Map for Level 0.

Point based representation of Airports. The RWDB_APRT shapefile data layer is comprised of 15044 derivative vector framework library features derived based on 1:3 000 000 data originally from RWDBII. The layer provides nominal analytical/mapping at 1:3 000 000. Data processing complete globally. Acronyms and Abbreviations: RWDB2 or RWDB II- Relational World Database II.

Airports and airstrips within the Okavango Basin. Source: Digital Chart of the World (DCW) and update vectorization from ONC charts. This dataset is part of the GIS Database for the Environment Protection and Sustainable Management of the Okavango River Basin project (EPSMO). Detailed information on the database can be found in the “GIS Database for the EPSMO Project” document produced by Luis Veríssimo (FAO consultant) in July 2009, and here available for download.

On 8 November 2013, Typhoon Haiyan made landfall in the Philippines causing widespread devastation, tremendous loss of life and catastrophic impact on infrastructure and natural resources. As a result of the devastating damage to agriculture and fisheries sectors and the severe impact on lives and livelihoods FAO has declared Level 3 Emergency Response. In response to the call for needs assessment and coordinating humanitarian assistance in agriculture and fisheries sectors the FAO, Land and Water Division Geospatial Unit collected a number of datasets from various sources including FAO, WFP, UNITAR-UNOSAT, EC-JRC, USDA, USGS as well as updated reports from national agencies as well as the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management council. A set of data were also used as ancillary data to support the impact assessment analysis. They are organized as follows: BASE LAYERS - Coastline (OCHA); National and sub-national boundaries (FAO GAUL2012); Contour lines (OCHA); Rivers and Lakes (The Philippines' National Mapping and Resource Information Authority- NMRIA); Hydrobasins (FAO) - Cities (NGA/VPAM-0); Points of interest (NMRIA). INFRASTRUCTURES - Roads, Railroads and Airports (NMRIA). LAND COVER AND LAND USE - Land cover (ESA Globcover); Mangroves (FAO GLC-Share); Forest (FAO FRA2010); Land use systems (FAO). FARMING - Cattle density (FAO); Pig density (FAO); Poultry density (FAO).
