Abstract

Shelter Cluster 4W report (Who does What, Where, and When) for typhoon Goni (Rolly) and Vamco (Ulysses) in the Philippines

Each row in this dataset represents tabular records. Data was last updated on HDX on 2025-03-07. Geographic scope: PHL.

Curated into ML-ready Parquet format by [Electric Sheep Africa](https://huggingface.co/electricsheepafrica).

Dataset Characteristics

Variables

Identifier / Metadata — esa_source (HDX), esa_processed (2026-05-04).

Quick Start

from datasets import load_dataset

ds    = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/asia-operational-presence-all")
train = ds["train"].to_pandas()
test  = ds["test"].to_pandas()

print(train.shape)
train.head()

Schema

Numeric Summary

No numeric columns.

Curation

Raw data was downloaded from HDX via the CKAN API and converted to Parquet. Column names were lowercased and standardised to snakecase. Common missing-value markers (`N/A`, `null`, `none`, `-`, `unknown`, `no data`, `#N/A`) were unified to `NaN`. 38 column(s) with >80% missing values were removed: `unnamed0, unnamed1`, `unnamed2, unnamed3`, `unnamed4, unnamed_5`.... The dataset was split 80/20 into train and test partitions using a fixed random seed (42) and saved as Snappy-compressed Parquet.

Limitations

• —Data originates from Global Shelter Cluster (inactive) and has not been independently validated by ESA.
• —Automated cleaning cannot correct for misreported values, definitional inconsistencies, or sampling bias in the original collection.
• —Refer to the original HDX dataset page for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats.
