The LocalMunicsFloodsKZN<\/strong> layer represents the administrative geography used to summarise and report flood risk and inundation results at local municipal level<\/strong>.<\/p>

The layer was prepared and used as follows:<\/p>

  1. Local municipality boundary data for KwaZulu-Natal were compiled and quality-checked to ensure topological integrity and consistency with provincial reporting boundaries.<\/li>
  2. The boundary layer was spatially aligned to the same projection and extent as the flood inundation and flood risk rasters.<\/li>
  3. Zonal statistics and spatial overlay analyses<\/strong> were performed using this layer to:
    • Summarise inundation depth classes per municipality<\/li>
    • Calculate average or dominant flood risk values<\/li>
    • Identify municipalities with higher relative exposure<\/li><\/ul><\/li>
    • Resulting statistics were stored as attributes linked to each municipality polygon and used for mapping, tabulation, and reporting.<\/li><\/ol><\/div>", "summary": "Administrative boundary layer of KwaZulu-Natal local municipalities prepared for summarising flood-related indicators (e.g., inundation depth classes, flood risk classes, impacted land cover/infrastructure) using zonal statistics and spatial overlays.", "title": "KZN Local Municipalities \u2014 Flood Exposure / Flood Risk Summary", "tags": [ "KZN", "KwaZulu-Natal", "local municipalities", "admin boundaries", "flood risk", "exposure", "zonal statistics", "disaster risk assessment" ], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": 150000000, "maxScale": 5000, "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "SRK Consulting \u2014 Disaster Management Risk Assessment (KZN).
