Storm Surge Project

This map shows the effected infrastructure of Keywest that was damaged by the flood. Both hospitals, the airport and all but a single school and 2 churches were hit by the surge. This damage causes a lack of suitable shelters for flood victims and can make the aid process more chaotic.

This map shows the percentages of each land type flooded in the storm surge. You can see clearly that Key West is largely developed and the majority of the areas hit were developed.

Here you can see the total amount of flooded area caused by the storm surge.

This map shows the elevation and bathymetry of Keywest. You can see that the majority of the land lies below 10 feet above sea level with the highest areas being around the 12 foot mark. Just 4 feet above the surge.
