Nicaragua: Population exposed to volcanic hazard (ash fall)

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 population in volcanic hazard (ash fall) zones. The classification used here runs from yellow (few people exposed) to red (many people 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. The complete and detailed results of this assessment can be accessed in the CARA-GIS database.
