Description:
Abstract:
This dataset shows fire stations that are vulnerable to a 100-year coastal flood event under current conditions in California. The fire station data was extracted from the FEMA HAZUS model and was intersected with the flooding layers created by the Pacific Institute and USGS/SCRIPPS.
Purpose:
To quantify the number of fire stations that are vulnerable to a 100-year coastal flood event under current conditions in California.
Supplemental_Information:
The fire station data was acquired from the FEMA HAZUS model for which information can be accessed at: <http://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/hazus/>
