Brazilian Dams And Brumadinho Households

Context

This data set relates to every Brazilian dam that holds some type of ore.

After Brumadinho's dam disruption on January 25 of 2019, I came up with the idea to help Brazilians to have a better and more clear view about the risks that we face when we live close to some dam like Brumadinho.

Content

This database is an open data provided by Brazilian organs like ANM (National Agency of Mining) and IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics).
ANM database has all the latest dams location, latitude, longitude, risk of disruption and risk of damage.
IBGE database has some households locations from the 2017 Brazilian census, which can be used to check how close a household is to a dam.

This database was cleaned and prepared previously with some of my colleagues at Cappra Data Science community. and at the DataScience4Industry community.
