Q2) What is the highest elevation shown?
3.75406 meters.
As
you can see above I have overlaid the land classification map with a
elevation map at sixty percent transparency. This allows you to see
darker areas (ex. Lower left) which would have higher elevations.
Q3) What are the places that are extremely vulnerable to flooding?
This
is the elevation map of Key West. It is shown here with the polygon of
Key West set to hollow so you can easily see what are the high and low
area.
Q5) What type of land was most flooded?
Q6) Describe the flooding of Key West.
Unfortunately
this pie chart express far better than any words the amount of
flooding. Much of Key West was below water. Only one church and one
School were in an area that was above water
Q5) What type of land was most
flooded?
Q7) Record the sum of the
COUNT field (excluding not flooded land).
16,630.
Q8) What does the graph tell
you about the greatest impact of the storm surge?
That much of the flooded area consisted of scrub and grass land.
Q9) Describe the distribution
of the flooded areas and how the flood might affect the long-term
sustainability of the region.
When you consider that only 597 Acres of land out of
a total of 16,330 Acres were NOT flooded. I think
has to have a major impact on the long term stability of
rebuilding in that area.
The two dry gathering places.
Map of the two Hospitals (both flooded).
Map of Churches
Q10) What is the distribution of infrastructure and
health facilities affected by the storm surge and how might you
prioritize which damaged elements should be restored first?
Map of Landmarks
Map of Schools
