Assessing Storm Damage: Hurricane Sandy, Future Hurricanes and Sea-Level Rise Purpose of the exercise: Beginning GIS students view pre-storm and post-storm views of coastal areas on Long Island and compare these areas to places along the Rhode Island coast that are similarly vulnerable to hurricane damage. They also look at patterns of development on filled-in salt marshes in both places and learn how such development affects coastal flood risks. They will gain experience in looking at the kinds of damage that hurricanes do to barrier beaches and salt ponds and also in working with remote-sensing images in ArcGIS. This exercise is written for ArcGIS 10.2. Introduction Hurricane Sandy formed near Jamaica on October 22, 2012 and broke up on November 2, 2012. It was a Category 3 hurricane when it hit Cuba and a Category 2 hurricane when it hit the northeast US. The storm killed more than 200 people and caused more than $68 billion in damage.
