St. Himark is a vibrant community located in the Oceanus Sea. Home to the world-renowned St. Himark Museum, beautiful beaches, and the Wilson Forest Nature Preserve, St. Himark is one of the region’s best cities for raising a family and provides employment across a number of industries including the Always Safe Nuclear Power Plant. Well, all that was true before the disastrous earthquake that hits the area during the course of this year’s challenge. Mayor Jordan, city officials, and emergency services are overwhelmed and are desperate for assistance in understanding the true situation on the ground and how best to deploy the limited resources available to this relatively small community.

A vibrant community to 246,839 people, St.Himark consists of some of the best cultural attractions and is one of the region's best places to raise children. Bustling with economic activity, it is really accessible thanks to five bridges and one highway that connect the city to the mainland.

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. They quickly receive seismic readings and use those for an initial deployment but realize they need more information to make sure they have a realistic understanding of the true conditions throughout the city.

In a prescient move, the city of St. Himark released a new damage reporting mobile application shortly before the earthquake. This app allows citizens to provide more timely information to the city to help them understand damage and prioritize their response. In this mini-challenge, use app responses in conjunction with shake maps of the earthquake strength to identify areas of concern and advise emergency planners.

Overview

A vibrant community to 246,839 people, St.Himark consists of some of the best cultural attractions and is one of the region's best places to raise children. Bustling with economic activity, it is really accessible thanks to five bridges and one highway that connect the city to the mainland.

Problem and Motivation

The Always Safe nuclear plant, one of the city's largest employers, had been struck by an earthquake, resulting in a leak of radioactive contamination. Furthermore, a coolant leak has sprayed employees' cars and contaminated them at varying levels. Now, the city’s government and emergency management officials are trying to understand if there is a risk to the public while also responding to other emerging crises related to the earthquake as well as satisfying the public’s concern over radiation.

Dataset

  1. Static Sensor Data

The government has deployed operated stationary monitors with data from citizen-operated mobile sensors to help them better understand conditions in the city and identify likely locations that will require further monitoring, cleanup, or even evacuation.

  1. Mobile Sensor Data

Thanks to a group of citizen scientists led by the members of the Himark Science Society, lower-cost homemade sensors are deployed to citizens, including employees of Always Safe nuclear power plant. These sensors are attached to their cars

Tasks and Questions
