Week 4 Participation Activity
Summary:
GIS has become an important role in disaster relief around the world. GIS can quickly deliver large amounts of information and data to people quickly showing, for example, the size and locations of natural hazards, areas affected and the costs involved, or potential dangers. Disaster relief organizations can use GIS to effectively determine where to allocate resources and best resolve a situation. GIS also can be used to help the public become aware of disasters, hazards, etc.
Link to Video:
This assignment was fairly straight forward. The majority of the time spent on this activity was due to the inability to reproject the coordinate system correctly and the awful delays that working with edesktop have. And, it seems that I cannot get the video to work after 11 different attempts... which isn't a surprise given how this course is going.
