Active Tropical Storm Wind Buffers

This layer depicts active tropical storms. Each buffer has information related to the wind speed and the affected population at three distances from the tropical storm's track. The data come from GDACS (European Commission Joint Research Center) and further analysis is applied by the WFP OSEP GIS. The layer is updated automatically. If there are no active storms, no data are displayed (pink tiles).
