Abstract

Visualizing Hazus Flood Analysis Results with Story Maps
Track: Government
Authors: Micaella Penning

Engaging community members is often one of the biggest challenges in updating Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plans, so the Geospatial Analysis Center is implementing Esri Story Maps to map floodplains, historical floods, and Hazus results based on 100-year flood analyses. Data are seamlessly integrated with poignant imagery from past events, in the hope that the story map will serve as a tool for visually ‘reminding’ residents about hazards to encourage their participation in future mitigation.
