Network Analyst - Prepare Week

For this week in Special Topics in GIS, Project 2, I started to prepare data for a Network Analyst project. Project 2 is a hurricane evacuation scenario for the Tampa Bay, Florida area. First I clipped and re-projected all data sets into the same area and projection.  This was completed using a provided mass clipping and re-projection tool.  Then a DEM was reclassified and converted into a vector file format. From that I created a “Flood Zone” layer.   New fields were added to the streets layer in anticipation for upcoming network analysis.  After that I edited and exported the metadata.  I created a base map of the area (above), and shared it as a map package. Then I wrote an E-mail to my “employer” and a “Coworker” explaining what I have done to date, and what I think the next steps should be.  The map package, metadata, and e-mail were then zipped into a single file and put into the dropbox.
