Lab 3 Final Analysis

In creating a Map of Vancouver’s Danger Zones for the areas  most susceptible to destruction of a tsunami, I evaluated the following;

Q: What percentage of the City of Vancouver’s total area is under danger?

By using the attribute table for the Vancouver Landuse layer, I found that the sum of the area that would be affected would be 131,020,600 m squared. This means that 15.5% of metro Vancouver’s land would be in danger form the effects of a tsunami.

Q: List the healthcare and educational facilities within the danger zones: 

Educational facilities: St. Anthony of Padua, Ecole Rose des Vents, Heritage 3R’s School, Vancouver Montessori School, False Creek Elementary, Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, Henry Hudson Elementary, St John’s International, St Francis Xavier, Institute of Indigenous Government.

Health Care Facilities: False Creek Residence, Broadway Pentecostal Lodge, Coast West Community home, Yaletown House Society, Villa Cathay Care Home.
