Blessed with a plethora of data regarding the earthquakes, the city is in dire need for data scientists to analyze this data and to draw important conclusions which would better help the city's endeavor to ensure the utmost safety of its citizens. Hence, I will be cleaning and analyzing this data in order to ameliorate the current emergency response procedure.
First, the city would like to know what are some potential associations among the variables that may correlate with earthquakes. After looking through the data, there are a few potential ones and they are: shake intensity. For shake intensity, the higher the number on the scale, the more intense the earthquake is. As seen from the heat and line maps of shake intensity, different regions of St. Himark face varying levels of intensity and the areas which are more red in color are in dire need to immediate assistance.
An important thing to note is that due to the fact that this data was obtained through its citizens via a mobile application, this crowdsourced data may vary markedly.
This is due to the fact that these reports are based on subjective measurements. One citizen who is more timid may feel like the shake intensity of a certain earthquake is more intense that it actually is due to a heightened sense of fear and adrenaline. While another citizen who is more brave and bold may underestimate the earthquake's true intensity.
However, thankfully, because of the sheer amount of data we have obtained, overall, the overestimations and underestimations will cancel each other out and the data provided should be relatively accurate. But it is still important for the emergency responders to be aware of this factor.
