The analysis portion of the Tampa Hurricane Planning project built on the information prepared in the previous module. The map shows routes from the National Guard Armory to three schools serving as hurricane shelters for emergency supply distribution runs and the routes from Tampa General Hospital to Memorial Hospital and St. Joseph’s Hospital for the evacuation of patients prior to the hurricane’s arrival. The map also outlines the areas to be served by the three emergency shelters (identified on the map).

| Tampa Hurricane Planning - Routes |
To prepare this map, a new network dataset was created from the streets layer prepared earlier with attributes selected to create the fastest, simplest routes rather than shortest-distance routes with flooded roads closed to the public but possibly traversable by emergency vehicles.
The areas to be served by each of the storm shelters were created in Network Analyst with values selected to avoid accidentally excluding any of the study areas from the analysis and to clearly identify only one storm shelter for any area.
As done in the preparation lab, a map package was created for the map and zipped together into one folder with the metadata files, routing map image, and the process summary. Again, a sample email detailing this information and process was created as if a co-worker would be completing the project. The email included the zipped folder, details of what the City of Tampa had requested, what had been accomplished during this part of the project, and what needed to be completed yet. Items to completed next are different information brochures along with a map and supply list for emergency supply distribution. These will be done during the Report portion of the project.
