Data Analysis and Flood Resilience Policy in San Francisco
Featured Presentation:
Data Analysis and Flood Resilience Policy in San Francisco
Data is a friend. The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) has being taking advantage of digital information to inform the City’s policy for residents of flood prone areas. This presentation will illustrate how the City used hydraulic and hydrologic data to delineate, through Python and ArcGIS, the boundary within which new regulation related to flooding will apply. Furthermore, it will show how Python’s Seaborn Library was employed to explore and visualize the data set of properties affected by the new regulation.
