Low Lying Areas at Risk of Tsunamis in Vancouver

Finding the Total Vancouver Area at Risk

15.5% of Vancouver’s total area is in the risk area. To find this I created a buffer of 1km island from the shore, then from within that buffer I isolated areas less that or equal to fifteen meters above sea level. This area totalled to (20.3 square kilometers). I then did a simple calculation dividing the risk area by the total area of Vancouver (131.03 square kilometers).
