Applications in GIS: Hurricanes



For the last week of our natural disasters lab set, we worked with Hurricane Sandy data. In the first map we tracked the path of Hurricane Sandy adding metadata from the attribute table concerning wind seed and air pressure. To each point where the Hurricane was plotted. From this line of point data we were also able to create a polyline.

The second map shows pre and post aerial imagery of the Hurricane Sandy damage done to the Township of Toms River. We created point data and an accompanying attribute table to categorize the damage done to a street inside of the study area.
