It is also a great place to raise a family. We can assume that the people who live here are either old or live together as a family. Since the buildings are old, it is logical to conclude that the buildings and the people are prone to experience greater damage. As for Old Town, they are the hardest-hit area and it is a historic center. Wilson Forest also showed a high mode for building damages of 8 at 9 AM but this is based on only one report which is not conclusive enough. The team should focus on Broadview and Old Town first. |

Question: 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.

The source of the earthquake (epicenter) appears to be located near the 12th of July Bridge and Himark Bridge on 6 April 2020. The shaking is weak. However, the shaking got stronger on 8 April and more cities were affected by the earthquake. From the shake map, we can see that the following cities are more likely to be greatly affected by the earthquake. Cities sorted by perceived damage: Old Town, Safe Town, Cheddarford, Pepper Mill, Wilson Forest, Easton, East Parton, West Parton, and Terrapin Springs. | |||||||||||||||||||

From the shake intensity charts, we can deduce that the following cities need more help from 8 April, 8 AM to 11 AM: Old Town, Safe Town, Pepper Mill, and Wilson Forest as identified above. The team should respond to these cities. The number of reports made by neighborhood chart also shows that areas that are hardest hit may not always have a high number of reports and vice-versa. Therefore, using the mode of the impact score seems to be a better option in assessing the extent of the damage instead of solely using the number of reports in our analysis. | |||||||||||||||||||
The time frame for this analysis will be 8 April 8 AM to 11 AM. The hardest-hit areas identified in the previous dashboards are Old Town, Safe Town, Pepper Mill, and Wilson Forest. Taking this into consideration, we can further analyze the intensity of each damage type across the city in this dashboard. Do note that Wilson Forest is considered a high priority area despite the lack of reports. An assumption made is that the emergency response team comprise of different divisions and responders are specialized or trained to deal with a specific damage type. The following cities should receive a higher priority:
