- **Total number of English meteorological data**: 1,460  (daily frequency)
- **Type of crisis** : Stroms, Hurricane, Flood, Wildfire, Explosion, Terrorist Attack, Collapse

### Data alignement 

All the textual data have been spatially aligned with the meteorological data with the following strategy :

1. If there is exactly one location mention in the text :

We use the keywords that we have in utils/Keywords in order to find in which state the location mention belongs.

2. If there is no location mention :

We use crisis_knowledge_LANG.csv to find the location of the tweet by association with the location of the impact of the crisis the tweets refer to.



### Raw Data and Adaptation
If you want to use only one modality, you can use the data contained in Textual_Data and Time_Series

The data inside Multi_modal_dataset are already merged with a fixed window for timeseries (48 hours window for French data and 5 day window for English data)

If you want to change the time series window you can use Linker_Fr.py and Linker_Eng.py. (WARNING : Linker_Fr can take some time)

To use the linker please use

```unix
python3 Linker_Eng.py --window_size 5 -output_file ./output_file.csv
```

or 

```unix
python3 Linker_FR.py -w 16 -o ./output_file.csv
```
With : 
-w / --window_size : the size of your timeseries window (with 3hours frequency for French data and daily data for English data)
-o / --output_file : path and name of your personnal dataset

Note that to launch the French linker, you will require the following librairies :
pandas
datetime
numpy
datetime
pytz
warnings
argparse


Note that to launch the English linker, you will require the following librairies :
pandas
os
json
scikit-learn
argparse
