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.
How would you prioritize neighbourhoods for response?
I would prioritize the neighbourhoods for response based on 3 main criteria:
- Average Infrastructure Damage based on Quantitative Score and Instrumental Intensity
- Average Shake Intensity of the Neighbourhood
- Number of Reports from residents in the neighbourhood
The rationale for prioritising Infrastructure Damage is to ensure that places with high damage to infrastructure such as Buildings or Medical are quickly attended to as there might be casualties stuck within the infrastructure due to the damage.
Prioritising Shake Intensity is also important as this are live tremors felt by the residents of the neighbourhood and could very well imply the proximity of their neighbourhood to the epicentre of the earthquake itself.
Lastly, taking into consideration the nature of the Rumble app, flooding of reports from residents of a neighbourhood could potentially mean that they are currently experiencing the full brunt of the earthquake itself. Hence, efforts should be immediately channelled there to ensure that help is efficiently rendered.
