description=This plugin turns raw hazard and exposure data into simple, decision-ready impact estimates. Instead of stopping at "where the hazard will occur", it helps answer "who and what is likely to be affected, and by how much", so that governments and sector agencies can act early and target resources where they matter most. Includes tools for data classification, zonal statistics, and report generation.
about=RapidIBF-Next is an impact-based forecasting (IBF) toolkit for national hydro-meteorological services, disaster management offices and sector agencies. It combines a hazard layer (for example a seasonal climate outlook, a rainfall or temperature anomaly, a flood or landslide susceptibility raster, or a tropical cyclone wind swath) with exposure data (population rasters, point facilities such as schools and health centres, or line networks such as roads) and aggregates the result to administrative boundaries. Workflows cover raster hazard with raster exposure, raster hazard with point exposure, and raster hazard with line exposure. Outputs include classified impact layers styled in QGIS, GeoPackage and CSV exports, and a comprehensive HTML and PDF report with maps, charts and summary text. The report is available in English, Russian, Hindi, Tamil, Sinhala and Dhivehi, with terminology drawn from official government and disaster-risk-reduction sources. The plugin uses only libraries bundled with QGIS (GDAL, NumPy and Jinja2). No additional Python packages need to be installed. Developed by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP).

changelog=
 Version 0.1.5:
 First stable release on the QGIS plugin repository. Same code as
 0.1.4, which was approved as an experimental version.
 - Experimental flag removed, the plugin is listed for all users.
 - Licence declared as GPL-2.0-or-later, matching the headers.

 Version 0.1.4:
 No functional change. Clears the informational code quality
 and Qt6 items reported by the QGIS plugin repository for 0.1.3.
 - Scoped Qt and QGIS enums, for example Qgis.MessageLevel.Info.
 - Fallbacks for older QGIS builds use getattr, not unscoped enums.
 - Named lambdas replaced by small functions.
 - Single-letter loop variables renamed.
 - The shared constants module imports its names explicitly.

 Version 0.1.3:
 No functional change. Clears the remaining informational
 scan items.
 - Tolerated exceptions are logged instead of ignored silently.
 - Colour ramp XML files are read with QDomDocument.
