Problem & Motivation
In this challenge, St. Himark has been hit by an earthquake, leaving officials scrambling to determine the extent of the damage and dispatch limited resources to the areas in most need. Given the limited amount of manpower, the search and rescue team need the help from members of the public to gather information about the extent of the damage and to effectively conduct search and rescue work.
In a prescient move of community engagement, the city had released a new damage reporting mobile application shortly before the earthquake. The citizens have been very helpful in providing timely information to the city’s search and rescue team via a community engagement application. The application collects information from citizens regarding the damage of certain infrastructure as well as the shake intensity to identify areas of concerns and advice emergency planners.
With emergency services stretched thin, the goal is to combine the information gathered and work together as a community to triage the effects of the quake to help focus recovery efforts.
Task & Question
1. Emergency responders will base their initial response on the earthquake shake map. Use visual analytics to determine how their response should change based on damage reports from citizens on the ground. How would you prioritize neighborhoods for response? Which parts of the city are hardest hit? Limit your response to 1000 words and 10 images.
2. Use visual analytics to show uncertainty in the data. Compare the reliability of neighborhood reports. Which neighborhoods are providing reliable reports? Provide a rationale for your response. Limit your response to 1000 words and 10 images.
3. How do conditions change over time? How does uncertainty in change over time? Describe the key changes you see. Limit your response to 500 words and 8 image
