Datasets

What you can download

Download sizes for the whole of Italy, from 1.2 GB for the landslide hazard mosaic to 1 MB for events; every later run of an unchanged file costs one 304 answer

You write What it is Italy, zipped
opendata("frane_piff") IFFI landslide identification points, one per landslide 38 MB
opendata("frane_poly") IFFI landslide polygons (the outline of each landslide) 573 MB
opendata("frane_line") IFFI landslides too narrow for a polygon 18 MB
opendata("aree_poly") areas of diffuse landslides (many small ones together) 236 MB
opendata("dgpv_poly") deep-seated gravitational slope deformations 4 MB
opendata("eventi") dated landslide events (points) 1 MB
opendata("segnalazioni") reports small
mosaic("pai_frane") PAI landslide hazard mosaic 2020-2021 1.2 GB
mosaic("idraulica") flood hazard mosaic 2020 0.75 GB
sensor_data() monitoring network readings, CSV (bzip2)

Every opendata layer comes:

  • for Italy (area="ispra", the default), for one region (REGIONS, by ISTAT code: REGIONS[16] == "puglia") or for a province that publishes on its own (PROVINCES: Bolzano, Trento, the nine Sicilian ones);
  • as a shapefile (default) or GeoJSON (fmt="geojson").
opendata("frane_poly", "toscana")  # one region, shapefile
opendata("frane_piff", "trento", "geojson")  # one autonomous province, GeoJSON
opendata("eventi")  # all of Italy

Coordinates are in EPSG:32632 (WGS 84 / UTM 32N), for every area. The flood mosaic is the exception: EPSG:3035 (ETRS89 / LAEA Europe).

Where downloads are saved

In a folder that should survive restarts, because the national files weigh hundreds of MB:

  1. the directory you pass to fetch or download;
  2. otherwise IDROGEO_DATA_DIR, if set;
  3. otherwise ~/.cache/ispra-idrogeo (or $XDG_CACHE_HOME/ispra-idrogeo).
~/.cache/ispra-idrogeo/
├── frane_piff_ispra_opendata.zip             # the download, kept to revalidate it
├── frane_piff_ispra_opendata.zip.meta.json   # URL, ETag, Last-Modified
└── frane_piff_ispra_opendata/                # unpacked, ready to read
    ├── frane_piff_opendataPoint.shp
    └── …

In Docker, point it at a volume so the data survives the container:

services:
  app:
    environment:
      IDROGEO_DATA_DIR: /data/idrogeo
    volumes:
      - idrogeo-data:/data/idrogeo
volumes:
