Civil Unrest Sample

Civil unrest hazards including protests, riots, demonstrations, and social disturbances detected by AI for Humanity, PDC Global's generative AI and NLP technology. These hazards track significant civil unrest events worldwide, providing casualty data, severity scoring, and geographic context for each event.

Civil Unrest-Specific Properties

Incident Data

The incident.properties object for civil unrest hazards contains data from AI for Humanity. These properties describe the nature of the unrest, its casualties, severity, and geographic scope.

Key incident properties for civil unrest hazards include:

• Incident_Type - Type of incident (e.g., "Civil Unrest")

• Total_Fatalities / Total_Wounded - Total casualty counts

• Civilian_Fatalities / Civilian_Wounded - Civilian casualty counts

• Police_Military_Fatalities / Police_Military_Wounded - Security force casualty counts

• Terrorist_Insurgent_Fatalities / Terrorist_Insurgent_Wounded - Insurgent casualty counts

• Incident_Score - Overall incident severity score

• Casualty_Weight / Scope_Weight / Incident_Type_Weight / Total_Weight - Scoring components used to determine hazard priority

• Incident_Severity - Severity classification ("H" for high, "M" for medium, "L" for low)

• Scope_of_Incident - Geographic scope (e.g., "Local", "Township", "Regional")

• Country_Name / Province_District_Town - Location details

• Event_Summary - AI-generated summary of the incident

• sourceName / Source - News source that reported the event

• sourceResourceLocations - JSON array of source article URLs

• casualties - JSON string with killed/injured breakdown

• bufferSize - Buffer distance in meters for exposure geometry (e.g., 30000 for civil unrest)

• rawMessage - Full text of the source news article

Features

Geopolitical hazards include features with featureType values of:

• INCIDENT: Point geometry at the incident location with casualty and event details

• SMART_ALERT: Alert boundary polygon defining the hazard alert area

Exposure Areas

Civil unrest hazards use 3 exposure levels based on distance buffers:

• Level 1: Moderate exposure (15-30km buffer)

• Level 2: Strong exposure (5-15km buffer)

• Level 3: Severe exposure (0-5km buffer)

The buffer size is determined by the bufferSize property in the incident (in meters). For civil unrest hazards, this is typically 30,000 meters (30km), reflecting the area that may be affected by protest activity and associated disruptions.
