A Model For Other Towns – Relocating Valmeyer Town To Mitigate Flood Risk
As part of my class on GIS Data Formats, Design, and Quality, I created an online web map to update parcel information and digitize new road layers for the town of Valmeyer, which relocated to higher ground to mitigate flood risks.
This project involved:
- Updating the new Valmeyer town location parcels with current metrics for elevation and slope.
- Calculating distances from the old town location to assist in disaster management analysis.
- Digitizing new road layers to aid emergency vehicle routing in the new town site.
The project was then shared via a publicly accessible web map on ArcGIS Online here.
