- Develop and maintain spatial databases and data pipelines
- Ensure data quality, standardization, and metadata documentation
- 2. _ Spatial Analysis and Modeling
- Conduct spatial analysis for hazard mapping, risk assessment, and vulnerability analysis
- Support development of impact-based forecasting workflows using geospatial inputs
- Generate spatial indicators and risk layers for decision-making

3. GIS Application Development

- Develop and maintain GIS-based tools and dashboards for decision support systems
- Support backend GIS services using GeoServer or similar platforms

4. Visualization and Mapping

- Develop high-quality maps, dashboards, and visualization products for operational use




- Design interactive GIS interfaces for real-time monitoring and early warning dissemination
- Support customization of DSS platforms with geospatial layers and tools
- 5. _ Integration with DSS and IBF Systems
- Collaborate with developers and domain experts to integrate GIS modules into DSS platforms
- Support linking geospatial datasets with real-time meteorological and hydrological data
- Assist in developing location-specific impact scenarios and decision support outputs

6. Capacity Building and Documentation

- Prepare technical documentation, user manuals, and data guidelines
- Support knowledge transfer to project teams and partner institutions

7. Additional Responsibilities

- Perform other tasks as assigned by the supervisor in line with project needs and priorities.

Deliverables :
