The flooding in Key West related to Hurricane Wilma is great. The above maps show nearly all important infrastructure affected by the storm surge. With the amount of infrastructure in need of repair, I would recommend hospitals and airports be the first priority. This will help treat the sick and injured and expedite the flow of aid into Key West. The second priority should be schools and churches were shelters and staging areas can be prepared.
Regarding the types of land affected, developed land has overwhelmingly been flooded. It accounts for 69.9 % of the flooded land. The developed land is also evenly distributed around the island, not just concentrated in one area.
The issues I had in this project were the disappearance of a couple of islands during the process. I am now left with a few places label without land. There was some discussion about this in elearning but did not have time to get to the bottom of this.
