It's all about the Prep- Getting ready for the Flood

We are about to engage in the  Network Analyst extension.   Here's a prep map for the new layers we'll be using to create escape routes for a portion of the Tampa Bay area in case of a surge.. We set up the layers using two python scripts, one for mass clipping and a second for mass projection.  These were great to use. They save a lot of time and keep the errors down.  We reclassed the DEM layer then converted it to a polygon.  I went ahead and separated out the elevation values so I could see the range on the map.  Pretty cool, so much of this area is under 20 feet.  If the recent storm had not calmed before it hit during the convention more of the area would have been under water.  Our flood zone was for areas under 6 feet.  It is surprising to see how large an area this covered.

  This was a real scenario just a few months ago.   Did they use this to prepare?
