This document provides instructions and information for building a geodatabase in ArcGIS, including defining projections, fields, and flood zones. It discusses when to use the Define Projection and Project tools, and compares projecting versus defining projection. Examples of attribute tables and field types are provided. The document also presents a case study of a user ("Teri") searching for a future home in South Florida within budget and commute constraints using geoprocessing tools.
This document summarizes legislation passed in 2007 regarding flood protection in California's Central Valley. The legislation sets deadlines for state agencies to map floodplains and develop flood protection plans. It also requires cities and counties to update general plans and zoning to conform with the state plans. Key questions are raised about which local governments are affected, funding responsibilities, potential development moratoriums, and liability shifts resulting from the new laws.
Southern California Edison has undertaken efforts to adapt to climate change by assessing vulnerabilities, addressing existing issues, integrating climate data into decisions, and communicating with customers. Key climate trends in SCE's service territory include increased temperatures, extreme heat days, wildfire risk, sea level rise threats to coastal infrastructure, and changes to water resources. SCE is analyzing these trends spatially and at the facility level to understand localized impacts and integrate climate projections into planning processes. Early lessons indicate infrastructure has built-in resiliency for near-term impacts, but collaboration is needed to address longer-term projected changes.
This document summarizes a storm water modeling project for the Town Creek Watershed in Salisbury, NC that analyzed changes in land use and storm water runoff between 1978 and 2009. Digital elevation data, soil data, and aerial/satellite imagery from 1978 and 2009 were used to create land cover maps and calculate storm water runoff for each time period using the Curve Number runoff method. The results showed increases in urban area and storm water runoff over time, reinforcing the impact of urbanization. Issues included limitations of the Curve Number method for less elevated, more urbanized areas.
Floods are the most common natural disasters globally, affecting over 2 billion people between 1998-2017. When floods occur in inhabited areas, they cause immediate disruption to transportation and damage to infrastructure. In the long-term, flood waters remaining for long periods pose health hazards and delays in restoring infrastructure. As wide-ranging events, floods disrupt society from days to years by damaging homes, crops, and isolating communities. Satellite imagery and cloud computing can be used to automatically map flood extent and exposure of populations and agriculture. While providing timely information, these methods have limitations and cannot determine flood intensities needed for infrastructure planning.
The document discusses Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) produced by FEMA. It provides information on floodplains, flood zones, the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), and what property owners should do if their property is shown in a new floodplain on the FIRM maps. Key points include an overview of flood hazard zones on FIRMs, requirements for participating in the NFIP, and steps property owners can take to request changes to the floodplain designation through FEMA's Letter of Map Change process.
Use of Satellite Data for Feasibility Study And Preliminary Design Project Re...IJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: In the developing countries like India, need of infrastructure is very high as compared to the available resources. The various organizations put their demands to state and center government for sanction of their project, government depends upon its various department to provide an approximate cost so that priorities can be assigned. The conventional procedure depends upon the land surveying, collection of data from various departments resulting in delay in necessary decision making or some time shelving due to unreasonable cost estimate due to field data being very old. Survey of India, The National Survey and Mapping Organization single handily taking this responsibility thus up gradation of data is far behind the actual development. From the satellite data, which is available in the form of images and terrains (even in 3d LiDAR points for some areas) is very useful for Feasibility Study, and Preliminary Project Report. In the present study natural drain named „Chai Nala‟ meanders through the prime property of Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) thus making a big chunk of commercial land inoperative. It was proposed to straighten and channelize to reclaim the land from drain regime. Being the precious land department wanted the most economical and technically sound design without taking any risk. It was decided to counter check the hydraulic data, ground profile, acquired from the Punjab Irrigation Department with the satellite data and Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS). The data from the Google Earth was acquired using Cad Earth software and water shed analysis was carried out using Autodesk Civil 3D software. Comparison of results shows that this technique is quite useful and can be for preliminary feasibility and project preparation. Thus saving huge money and time.
The document provides information on flood management and resilience. It discusses developing situational awareness through flood risk mapping, analytics to understand flood costs and impacts, and developing a smart response plan with specific actions before, during, and after flood events to minimize risks and speed recovery. These include understanding flood sources and zones, monitoring water levels, registering for warnings, installing protective equipment, creating response plans, and fostering social cooperation among local stakeholders to strengthen community resilience.

This document presents a storm water modeling project for the Town Creek Watershed in Salisbury, NC using the Curve Number Runoff Method. Land use in the watershed was mapped from aerial imagery from 1978 and satellite imagery from 2009. The Curve Number Runoff equation was used to calculate storm water runoff for a 4-inch rainfall event based on the different land uses and soil types. Results found an 8% increase in urban land use from 1978 to 2009, corresponding increases in storm water runoff, and that while the Curve Number method provided useful insights, it may be better suited to less urbanized areas with greater elevation changes.

This document presents a storm water modeling project for the Town Creek Watershed in Salisbury, NC using the Curve Number Runoff Method. Land use in the watershed was modeled between 1978 and 2009 using aerial imagery and satellite data. Results found forest and open space decreased by 3% and 5% respectively, while urban area increased by 8%. Storm water runoff increased from 78,592 cubic feet in 1978 to 92,131 cubic feet in 2009 based on a 4 inch rainfall. While the Curve Number method provided useful insights, it may be better suited to areas with greater elevation changes and less urbanization.

Applied Geovisualization for Hurricane Surge Risk Awareness and Emergency Man...Keith VanGraafeiland
This document discusses applying geospatial visualization techniques to improve hurricane surge risk awareness and emergency management. It summarizes the capabilities and limitations of storm surge models, and demonstrates how to downscale and visualize surge model outputs to analyze potential flooding impacts at local facilities. Visualization of surge inundation at high spatial resolution can help emergency planners better communicate risk, but there are challenges around model accuracy and uncertainties that come with downscaling large-scale hydrodynamic models.
This document summarizes a storm water modeling project for the Town Creek Watershed in Salisbury, NC that used the Curve Number Runoff Method to model land use change between 1978 and 2009 and calculate the resulting changes in storm water runoff. Land use data from aerial imagery and satellite images from 1978 and 2009 were incorporated into a GIS system along with digital elevation models and soil data. The results found increases in urban land use of 8% along with decreases in forest and open space, and a corresponding increase in storm water runoff accumulation at a point in the watershed. The project reinforced the impact of urbanization in increasing storm water runoff but encountered issues applying the method in an already urbanized environment.
The document discusses how climate change will impact cities through increased temperatures, more extreme precipitation events, and sea level rise. It provides projections for temperature increases and precipitation changes in North America. Cities will experience more heat waves that may be exacerbated by urban heat islands. Coastal cities are particularly at risk from sea level rise. Effective adaptation strategies are needed to reduce risks and increase resilience of cities.
The Congressional Budget Office analyzed the potential effects of climate change and coastal development on hurricane damage in the United States. It estimated damages under two scenarios: 1) climate change only and 2) climate change and continued coastal development. Preliminary results suggest that expected annual hurricane damage would double by 2075 under scenario 1 and increase five-fold under scenario 2 compared to current conditions. Damage as a share of GDP was projected to be 40% higher by 2075 under scenario 2. The analysis used a simulation model factoring in projections for sea level rise, hurricane frequency and intensity, and growth in property exposure from development.
This document outlines a study to model the hydrologic impacts of urban development on Watershed 80 (WS80), an untouched coastal forested watershed in South Carolina. The objectives are to assess pre-development conditions using three hydrologic models and simulate post-development conditions under varying levels of imperviousness. Materials and methods include delineating the watershed in GIS, collecting soil and rainfall data, and using the Rational Method, NRCS TR-55 model, and USGS regression equations to calculate runoff and peak flows. Preliminary results will be presented along with the design of a culvert to convey peak flows from a 100-year storm under full development.
The document discusses preliminary data on shadow impacts from proposed residential towers at 780 Baseline Road on agricultural research lands owned by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada west of Fisher Avenue. Shade maps show the towers would cause substantial shading of the research fields during the growing season. Future analysis will examine the reduction in sunlight hours for each field and the potential impact on crop yields.
This document summarizes a master's thesis that evaluates the effects of precipitation extremes on watershed hydrology under current and projected future climate conditions using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. The research focuses on the Cobb Creek Watershed in Georgia. Results show that high intensity precipitation events could increase watershed discharge by nearly 50% by 2060-2064 according to climate projections. Peak flows may rise by almost 30% and shifts in seasonal rainfall patterns are also possible. The study highlights the need for sustainable water management and planning that considers potential climate change impacts.

Storm surge causes flooding. How does a storm
surge develop? Wind speed, storm direction and
ocean shelf slope affect the severity of a surge.
For example, South Florida East coast has a shelf
of only 2km wide before its continental slope (see
Figure 1). The recent hurricane Irma left South
Florida inundated. It made landfall at Key West as
a Category 4 hurricane with a maximum sustained
wind speed of 130mph. However catastrophic,
some residents were not prepared to evacuate nor
aware of their flood zones. Environmental
changes, new construction, or recurring weather
patterns can change flood zone rating (Hanley,
2013). However, house pricing is not affected by
flood zone.
Why will a buyer or renter pay an
inordinate amount of money on a flood
zone property? Hurricane season is
back again. Should a resident stay or
go?

Flood Zone What does it mean?*
A Zone A is the flood insurance rate zone that corresponds to the 100-year
floodplains that are determined in the Flood Insurnce Study by approximate
methods. Because detailed hydraulic analysesare not performed for such areas,
No Base Flood elevations (BFE's) or depths are shown within this zone. Mandatory
flood insurance purchase requirements apply.
AE Zone AE is the flood insurance rate zone that corresponds to the 100-year
floodplains that are determined in the Flood Insurance Study by detailed
methods. In most instances, Base Flood elevations (BFE's) derived from the
detailed hydraulic analyses are shown at selected intervals
within this zone. Mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements apply.
AH Zone AH is the flood insurance rate zone that corresponds to the 100-year
shallow flooding with a constant water-surface elevation (usually areas of ponding)

Editor's Notes
At a Concert Stadium: The Clash Band
Should I stay? Or Should I go??
In this presentation, I am using my situation as an example of a real-life scenario. I live in The Falls-Pinecrest sub-urb of Miami, FL. This coming July, I am bound to either renew a lease or move to a better geolocation. My concern is so real – each South Floridian deal with all the time. In the succeeding pages, I will demonstrate how I developed my geodatabase. I employed the learning I received from this class including spatial analyses, creating a model i.e. Model Builder and mapping to visualize and solve the problem.
Read the whole Introduction.
…..should a resident LIKE ME stay or go?
Here the red zone represents that 2-km shelf of the FL East coast. This shallow region is so short that makes it prone to flooding easily.
One of the critical tenets of cartography, is the map projection. How does a cartographer transform a 3-D earth onto a planar 2-D map? Here you can see “the projection face”. There are many illustrations available in the net. I personally find this the most appealing and relatable because it uses the human face. The same face gets distorted accordingly with each assumed projection. Does this man look better on Albers or Baker? Think about it, this is how a cartographer has a vast influence on how his maps impact human view of the world!
From time to time, a veteran or novice GIS-er second guess which is X or Y; Latitude or Longitude; lamda or phi. This is because we get used to how things are automated by the software we use. The most problematic is TO DEFINE OR PROJECT??
Spatial data implicitly has coordinate values in either geographic or projected coordinates. A geographic coordinate system (GCS) uses a three-dimensional spherical surface to define locations on the earth; whereas, a projected coordinate system is defined on a flat, two-dimensional surface. Unlike a geographic coordinate system, a projected coordinate system has constant lengths, angles, and areas across the two dimensions. However, we need to explicitly define the coordinate system of our data. If we have undefined data, then we can use the Define Projection tool to define it.
These are examples of the usage for DEFINING A PROJECTION.
Now that we have a clear understanding of when to DEFINE A PROJECTION, it follows – Projecting is when we’d convert one coordinate system to another.
LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE ACTUAL DATA USED.
I requested data from Miami-Dade County IT-GIS Dept. I was given FEMA Flood Zone and property boundary information. I am most interested in zones A, AE, AH and VE. This is because mandatory flood insurance requirements apply. I hope that I will be able to locate my future abode somewhere better.
The next step was housing data collection. I chose Zillow, Trulia and Realtor.com as the main source. What you see here are the types of information I extracted from these web source to build my database. I will pause for a brief moment so you can examine it. …1001 1002 1003 1004 1005sec … I error proofed my table by “avoiding” DBMS keywords. Trust me, building it from scratch poses a lot of troubles starting with formatting and little characters that interfered in the transfer and conversion. While it wasn’t smooth, was a great learning experience.
After populating my Excel spreadsheet with some 100 properties, I converted xlsx into a CSV file. X-Y data are extracted from Google Earth PRO. G-E Pro is known to use WGS 84. Take a look at the X-Y data on window A, highlighted in yellow shows “unknown CS”. Within “edit” environment, I set the data source to WGS 84 as shown on snip image B to match.
Now it is time to project. This slide, shows the PROJECTION TO Florida State Plane as adopted to FEMA Flood zone and property boundary as the fist layers and set onto the data frame. Figure E is an example of ‘defining’ it first vs ‘projecting’. This lead to a map that shows nothing BUT 2 dots. This serves as a good example of swapping or confusing the 2!
Here is the end result. The Blue dots which maybe my potential future home, now appear on the map.
This is Florida = THE Sunshine State and your tourist sweet spot! Despite Hurricane Irma, there were 116.5M tourists who visited the state in 2017, as reported by Gov. Rick Scott (Russon, Gabrielle. Orlando Sentinel). Kennedy Space Center (NASA) in Titusville reported 1.7M (2016). Disney alone hosted 20.45M (2017) while South Beach had 15.9 M (2017).
Reality check- how much is it to live the Beach Life?? What you see here is the Miami-Dade County filled with water during flooding as illustrated by dark to lighter blue color fill. These are areas that require flood insurance; meaning serious flood zones! AND that I am hoping to avoid. Is my apartment in flood zone right now? The answer is YES! During Irma, I had to evacuate. It was a life disrupting drama like what Harvey did to Texas.
The dots are rental properties I depicted in 3 colors. Green represents $1500-2000, Blue is $1200-1500; and lastly Orange as $1000-1200 per month [studio/efficiency to a 1/1]. Assumption: this is in mainland 18-25 miles off of South Beach. How much more if I rent over there? Financial analysts suggest that rent should be no more than 25% of income. How much is it to live the Beach Life in SoFL? This is that picture .
In a city with 463,000 residents, a 5 mile drive translates to 15-30 minutes commute time depending on which part of town. My first refiner thus, is distance. 70 properties were isolated using Proximity Tool, Table Joins and Select by Attributes. A study on traffic psychology and behavior indicated that perceived traffic stress was associated with lower health status and higher depression. More importantly, higher density of major streets and greater vehicular burden in the neighborhood pose potential harm to health by reinforcing the negative impacts of perceived traffic stress (Song et. Al, 2007). Charts A and B show that there might be HOPE finding a home within $1800 or below and with decent floor area.
Let’s see!
The next refiner or preference I employed are elevation and home build year. Florida is so flat, any elevation would do for now. Once rent is culled to around $1500, unfortunately, only 29 properties are left. The house data table on right shows that as vintage as 1924, most of the available properties are actually old!.
Getting there…. Only 29 rental properties remaining.
Combining all criteria, only 6 out of 100 were left. Is there hope?
Finally - YES! From the query result of 6, only 2 properties are desirable. The first is a town home in Cutler Bay built in 2004, with $1025 rent and a floor space of 725 sq ft. The other one is a condo at Cutler Bay as well, with $1150 rent, a floor space of 813 sq ft built in 1988. While the map shows they sit on a flood zone. These units are on 2nd Floor.
Should I stay or GO? Well, I SHALL GO.
Here’s how I linked tools together to create a workflow. It’s my LEGO blocks of Tools. Hello visualization. Hello automation.
I may NOT be Pythonic, BUT I earned the title: Syntax Error Queen.
As a conclusion, Miami is a model of Tobler’s First Law of Geography. Everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things. There isn’t diversity in neighborhoods here. Old homes are clustered together. The same with pricey properties. Therefore, it is seldom to find a blend of both affordable at the same time located in decent neighborhood. Of the top 25 metro areas, Miami has the second-lowest median household income in the United States. Hurricane, high cost of living, traffic stress and poverty thrive here. TO STAY – YOU MUST LOVE THE BEACH!
Geoprocessing tools like the model builder and proximity tool came handy, and mapping made the decision making faster.
Mistake is the best teacher.
