Lab3 Vancouver Tsunami Dangerous Map
1. List the healthcare and educational facilities within the Vancouver danger zone, if any, and explain how you came up with your answer.
Facilities:
EMILY CARR INSTITUTE OF ART & DESIGN (ECIAD)
HENRY HUDSON ELEMENTARY
FALSE CREEK ELEMENTARY
ST ANTHONY OF PADUA
ECOLE ROSE DES VENTS
FALSE CREEK RESIDENCE
VILLA CATHAY CARE HOME
BROADWAY PENTECOSTAL LODGE
YALETOWN HOUSE SOCIETY
I used the selection by location tool to select education and healthcare layers from Vancouver danger. I then used the merge tool to merge these two layers into the same layer.
2. Provide a one or 2 sentence discussion of any potential risk to the new site for St. Paul’s Hospital.
Risk: the hospital might be flooded during the tsunami due to its low elevation. Furthermore, since it is built on a tidal flat, which has loose soil that may suffer from liquefaction during an earthquake, the hospital also may be in danger during an earthquake.
