5. 12% of Vancouver’s total area is in danger.  I totaled up the categorical areas in the “Vancouver_landuse” layer to find the sum of the total area and used the values from the “Dangerzone” area to find the totals of each category of landuse that would be affected.  I found  the percentage of affected area for each category and for the total area.

6. 2 separate layers were created by using the intersect tool.  The danger layer was intersected with the “Vancouver_health” and the “Vancouver_education” layers separately.  The facilities that are affected.

Accomplishment Statement: The intersect tool was used in this lab to highlight specific data that is relevant to the mapping area.  In this exercise, the intersect tool was used extensively to highlight the types of roads, schools and health facilities that will be affected in the tsunami zone in Vancouver.
