GIS5100: Module 5 - Damage Assesment

 

The goal of this Lab was to assess structural damage from Hurricane Sandy using pre- and post-storm imagery. I created mosaic datasets for both pre- and post-storm imagery using .SID and JPG files. I then added domains like Structure Damage, Wind Damage, and Inundation, and created a point feature class. Then I created points for each structure in the study area polygon. I compared pre- and post-storm imagery using the Swipe tool and assigned a damage level to each point individually using the attribute table. Once those steps were completed, I assigned points based on damage. This is the screenshot you see above. Overall, this was a constructive lab in which I learned a lot.
