Addition made (DATASETS_B)
Added one genuinely new source to the catalog:
- Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX)
- OCHA-managed humanitarian open-data platform
- Broad dataset coverage for displacement, needs assessments, population exposure, and response operations
Why this source is high-value
HDX fills a useful gap between narrative humanitarian reporting and machine-readable crisis data:
- Provides structured, reusable datasets for cross-country crisis comparisons.
- Supports faster triangulation with ReliefWeb/UNHCR/EM-DAT during conflict and disaster follow-up work.
- Improves ability to test local-to-global claims (e.g., whether a localized displacement signal aligns with broader humanitarian indicators).
Catalog updates
- Added HDX entry under Humanitarian and hazard context in
datasets-catalog.md.
- Preserved compact 1–2 sentence catalog style (no structural churn).
