List of Healthcare and Educational Facilities within the Vancouver Danger Zone
Vancouver Health Intersect
I determined the facilities by using the ArcTool then navigated to the overlay heading and clicked intersect. I intersected the Vancouver_Landuse_Intersect layer with the Vancouver_Healthcare, that way it will show me the areas of healthcare that are in danger in the Vancouver region. After clicking OK this created a new layer called Vancouver_Education_Intersect and it was then when I was able to see 4 facility names:
1. FALSE CREEK RESIDENCE (Parks and Recreational)
2. BROADWAY PENTECOSTAL LODGE (Residential)
3. YALETOWN HOUSE SOCIETY (Commercial)
4. VILLA CATHAY CARE HOME (Residential)
Vancouver Education Intersect
Same procedure as above but this time for education:
1. ST ANTHONY OF PADUA (Resource and Industrial)
2. ECOLE ROSE DES VENTS (Resource and Industrial)
3. FALSE CREEK ELEMENTARY (Residential)
4. EMILY CARR INSTITUTE OF ART & DESIGN (ECIAD) (Residential)
5. HENRY HUDSON ELEMENTARY (Residential)
We can see that there are four health facilities and five education facilities that are in the tsunami danger zone.
Potential risks to the new site for St. Paul’s Hospital
When looking at the map of where the new St. Paul’s Hospital is going to be, the location is set near 2, arguably 3, tsunami danger zones. If there were to be a tsunami the hospital would be at great risk of potential damage to the building and it will also be a safety concern for the patients and staff inside.
