By Lauren Tierney Verified| Esri@ Wildfires continue to make headline news, most recently the fires surrounding the greater Los Angeles area. When I worked as a journalist mapping the news, we were tasked with locating fires, communicating the size of major fires, and mapping the environmental impacts. As climate change fuels more intense fires, it is important to visually communicate the severity of these events for people to better understand the scale and scope of these natural disasters.
By Lauren Tierney Verified, Kenneth Field, Dan Pisut| Esri@ ArcGIS Blog A few weeks ago, I did a little mapping hack. I knew I wanted to map a future snowstorm, but I didn’t want to wait until it happened to find a data source, pick colors, set up base data, etc. So, I made a map using the same data source but a totally different geography to test out my data processing and design decisions. I could have waited until the day of the actual storm to find, download, process, and learn what data I wanted to use.
