1. A category five hurricane hit the town of Jacksonville, Florida devastated the town crippling infrastructure including power to homes and businesses. The telephone lines were also destroyed. To add to the monumental task of locating, triaging, and securing the safety of citizens, looters have been stealing cooper from the inactive power lines. Motorists no longer guided by traffic lights, have been negotiating pedestrians and massive debris in the streets; the town is in chaos.
• Explain the coordinated responses necessary to protect critical infrastructure and key resources (CIKR). Which agencies would be involved to restore normalcy in the Florida town? Note: There is no one answer.
• Go to GIS Lounge (https://www.gislounge.com/?s=GIS+and+remote+sensing). Look up explanation of GIS and Remote Sensing.
2. Discuss the combination of Remote Sensing (RS) and Geospatial Information System (GIS) in the transportation infrastructure protection, and flood risks of major rivers.
