El Salvador: Infrastructure exposed to inundation hazard

The intention of this map is to give a quick overview for decision makers on national or sub-national level about the risk exposure of the road network to the inundation hazard zones ‘high’ and ‘very high’.

The classification used here runs from yellow (few kilometers exposed) to red (many kilometers exposed). The class width of the yellow-to-red division has been chosen to facilitate the visual representation of the variability of values obtained in the assessment. White colored Municipios don’t have surveyed roads exposed to flood prone zones ‘high’ or ‘very high’ or the inundation hazard is not relevant, either.
