Work Planned

• We will evaluate methods for performing criterion
  weighing and will be conducting a sensitivity
  analysis to test the robustness of the results.
• Cartographic model will be finalized with the
  appropriate formulae to calculate final
  vulnerability scores and show results
  geographically across the scope.
• The final product includes a website containing
  web maps with the ability to zoom in on a
  particular county.
• Other final deliverables
• Static maps with the results
• two posters with a summary of the analysis
