1. Lab Activity

2. YOU and the Rest of Your Advisory Team Have Been Selected to Help Advise the Governor About the Potential Disaster.

3. We Have Been Informed That a Large Hurricane is Approaching the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and Louisiana

4. Our Intel Tells Us That This is the Potential Path of the Ensuing Hurricane

5. Hurricanes Are Very Powerful and Can Cause Devastating Destruction

6. Potential Hazards  Strong Winds and Rain  Damage and Major Cities and Infrastructure  Damage to Nuclear Power Plants

7. Strong Winds  Strong winds can exceed 150 mph  Rain Can Cause Major Flooding

8. Potential Damage to Major Cities  Hurricanes Cause Destruction to Buildings and Infrastructure  Populated Cities Are Most Vulnerable

9. Nuclear Power Plants  Leaked radiation from nuclear power plants is very harmful to plants and animals.  Power plants shut down if wind exceeds 75 mph.

10. Your Mission: YOU need to use the interactive GIS maps to help you answer the questions and determine what and where the associated hazards are with the hurricane path so that we can inform the President of the United States.
