This lab was a continuation of last week's as we again worked with Hurricane Sandy damage data. This time the output was hurricane track map as well as a structural damage assessment and analysis. To perform our damage assessment we created a feature class with all the attributes we wanted to collect data on. We created fields for structure damage, wind damage, inundation and structure type. These would be valuable data points to collect in the field, but for the purpose of this lab we were limited to what we could collect visually using remote imagery. We created raster mosaics for pre and post hurricane. Toggling between these two rasters, we created point features on each of the structures present, assessed and rated their level of damage on a scale of 0 (no damage) to 4 (completely destroyed) for a pre-defined area of interest. After completing and symbolizing my data I created a polyline feature class to represent the coastline and parsed the data into damage category and distance from the coastline. My results are as follows:
