Planning For a Tsunami

Total area that is under danger in the City of Vancouver

According to my map, 14.8% of City of Vancouver’s total area is in danger. This was calculated this by dividing Vancouver’s total danger area, by Vancouver’s total area. I attained the total area of both by opening the attribute table, right clicking on the Shape_Area column, and viewing statistics. I then divided Vancouver’s danger area (19443772) by Vancouver’s total area (131020800).

 

List of healthcare and educational facilities within the Vancouver danger zone

HEALTHCARE FACILITIES IN DANGER ZONE EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES IN DANGER ZONE
False Creek Residence St. Anthony of Pauda
Broadway Pentecoastal Lodge Ecole Rose des Vents
Yaletown House Society Heritage 3R’s School
Villa Cathay Care Home Vancouver Montessori School
False Creek Elementary
Emily Carr Institute of Art & Design
Henry Hudson Elementary
Institude of Indigenous Government

To attain these answers, I used the Intersect tool. I intersected the Vancouver_LanduseDanger layer with the healthcare layer, then viewed the attribute table to see which facilities resided within the danger zone. I called this layer LanduseDanger_Health. I did the same with the education layer to check for educational facilities in the danger zone. I called this layer LanduseDanger_Education.

To check this visibly, I right clicked on my new heathcare/education layer, clicked Selection > Select All. This highlighted all the points in the layer. I then turned on the new healthcare/education layer and the danger layer and turned everything else off, so I could see the layers clearly. To view the other new layer, I would clear the selection before repeating the Selection > Select All process to view it clearly.
