aa-toolbox: Toolbox for anticipatory action

The anticipatory action (AA) toolbox is a Python package to support development of AA frameworks, by simplifying the downloading and processing of commonly used datasets.

The datasets that we currently support are:

• CHIRPS rainfall
• COD ABs (Common Operational Datasets administrative boundaries)
• FEWS NET food insecurity
• GloFAS river discharge
• IRI seasonal rainfall forecast
• USGS NDVI (normalized difference vegetation index)

For more information, please see the documentation.

Installing

Install and update using pip:

pip install -U aa-toolbox

A Simple Example

Download the admin boundary CODs for Nepal, and retrieve provinces as a GeoDataFrame:

from aatoolbox import create_country_config, CodAB

country_config = create_country_config('npl')
codab = CodAB(country_config=country_config)
codab.download()
provinces = codab.load(admin_level=1)
