List the healthcare and educational facilities within the Vancouver danger zone, if any, and explain how you came up with your answer.
The healthcare facilities that are within the Vancouver danger zone are:
False Creek Residence
Broadway Pentecostal Lodge
Yaletown House Society
Villa Cathay Care Home
For the educational facilities, the ones within the danger zone are:
St. Anthony of Padua
Ecole Rose Des Vents
False Creek Elementary School
Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design
Henry Hudson Elementary School
In order to come to such conclusions, I was able to extract such data on ArcGIS through the Clip tool under the Analysis Toolbox. Under the ArcGIS Analysis Toolbox, I used the Clip tool under the Extract tab in order to separate both healthcare and educational faculties that exist only within the Vancouver Danger Zone. With the tool Clip, I was able to intersect the layer Vancouver Healthcare with the Vancouver Danger layer in order to highlight healthcare facilities in danger within the danger zone. Again, the same steps were done in order to find educational facilities in danger. By repeating the same following steps, through the intersection of the Vancouver Education layer as the input with the Vancouver Danger layer as the output, I was able to narrow search attributes to only education facilities associated within Vancouver’s danger zone.
