Visualization Goals 1) Understanding risks involved 2) Help the public better understand conditions in the city 3) Recommending a course of action for the government to mitigate risks
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
- 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.
- 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
My visualization has been grouped into 6 portions including this page as follows;
1) Problem Description
Background information and summary of the problem on hand
2) Data transformation
Data preparation process
3) Radiation over time
