The problem
Evacuation decisions need local impact estimates, not just a storm track.
What to build
Combine track forecasts with terrain and population data to estimate surge exposure and prioritise evacuation zones.
Success looks like
Exposure estimates reproduced for a past cyclone within an agreed tolerance and an evacuation priority map.
Suggested technologies
- Storm surge modelling
- Population grids
- Geospatial analysis
- Scenario tools
- Visualisation
