Week 10: Buffer Zones


This is week10 Deliverable 1 for GIS 4048 Applications in GIS for summer 2010 at UWF online GIS. The map shows the areas around NORAD that are essential in case of a homeland security threat. The critical infrastructure around NORAD are also detailed. There is only one airport within the 3 mile buffer zone(Cheyenne Mountain Heliport). It would be very critical to keep the heliport running in an emergency. The map illustrates the 3 mile buffer zone around NORAD as well as a 500 ft. buffer zone around the Cheyenne Mountain Heliport. I have done an enlay of the larger area so that both buffer zones aree easily displayed on one map.
