We were given the opportunity to work on a bonus assignment this week. For this map, we did a run-up analysis focusing on the Fukushima coastline. We initially figured out the elevations of the coastline and used that to determine evacuation zones. Obviously, the lowest lying coastal regions were classified in Zone 1, which is at a "Severe Risk." From there we used classifications of "High Risk" being Zone 2 and "Elevated Risk" as Zone 3.

Because so much data goes into creating a map like this one, it can take a lot of time and redundant steps. Creating a model using ModelBuilder allows the us to run all these tasks at once and gives us the outputs we need. One benefit of ModelBuilder is that you can immediately use generated outputs as the next step's input data. I enjoyed getting more in depth with ModelBuilder.
