Module 2: Project 1

The above map shows infrastructure and hospitals in danger of damage by flood waters from Hurricane Katrina on the Mississippi coast. An interesting part of this exercise was to see just how many symbols there are in ArcMap. I also thought the technique to get the areas flooded was interesting. I have had trouble with some of my jpegs having all the outer lines showing up once exported. It is a pain to try to fix this when the servers are slow.

The map above shows the types of land cover flooded by storm surge from Hurricane Katrina on the Mississippi gulf coast. I believe the hardest part in making this map was the reclassifying of values because it's easy to make a mistake doing that.
