# Disaster Damage Assessment Dataset

Binary damage classification dataset (damage vs. no damage) across 4 natural disaster domains, used in:

> **Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for Rapid Disaster Damage Assessment**

## Dataset Structure

| Domain | Code | Event | Images |
|--------|------|-------|--------|
| Ecuador Earthquake | E | 2016 | 1,724 |
| Nepal Earthquake | N | 2015 | 19,104 |
| Hurricane Matthew | M | 2016 | 333 |
| Typhoon Ruby | R | 2014 | 833 |

**Total:** 21,994 images across 4 domains.

**Columns:**
- `image`: PIL Image
- `label`: 0 = no_damage, 1 = damage
- `domain`: Single-letter domain code (E, N, M, R)
- `domain_name`: Full domain name
- `filename`: Original image filename

## Usage

### Load with `datasets`

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("abalhomaid/disaster-damage-assessment")

# Filter by domain
nepal = ds["train"].filter(lambda x: x["domain"] == "N")
```

### Extract to directory structure (for training scripts)

To use with the reproduction code, extract to the expected directory layout:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset
import os
from PIL import Image

ds = load_dataset("abalhomaid/disaster-damage-assessment")

domain_dirs = {"E": "ecuador_eq", "N": "nepal_eq", "M": "matthew_hurricane", "R": "ruby_typhoon"}
class_dirs = {0: "no_damage", 1: "damage"}

for row in ds["train"]:
    domain_dir = domain_dirs[row["domain"]]
    class_dir = class_dirs[row["label"]]
    out_dir = f"data/damage/{domain_dir}/images/{class_dir}"
    os.makedirs(out_dir, exist_ok=True)
    row["image"].save(f"{out_dir}/{row['filename']}")
```
