New Hurricane Risk Prediction Site for New Orleans
The Army Corps of Engineers developed the Google Earth-based maps with the city, businesses and local groups.
In creating the Web site, the Corps of Engineers ran 152 future storm scenarios on supercomputers to estimate water levels that could be expected under different weather conditions across the Louisiana coastal area. The scenario variables included barometric pressure, maximum wind speed, storm size, how fast the storm was moving and direction of storm track.
