As part of an academic requirement of "GEOG 198: The Geography of Natural Hazards and Disasters", our class was tasked with contributing maps for a possible Fire Atlas of Manila City. This project required the proposal of dummy output maps with dummy data as initial placeholders. Our class was split into groups that needed to produce at least 4-6 dummy maps each and choose a standard map template. Not all dummy maps made it into the official proposal due unavailability of data, but every group still needed to contribute at least 2-3 maps with real data.

• The sixdummy outputs that we contributed are attached above (* are maps that were chosen/had secondary data), these map titles were the following:

  • Fire and Rescue Pavements Map*

  • Fire Brigades by Operator Types*

    • Data for this map was initially incomplete but was completed and crosschecked (via web data scraping) for accuracy and preciseness.

  • Fire Hazards by Structure Materiality

  • Fire Incidence by Classification

  • Fire Risk by Building Damage Cost

  • Fire Stations Open 24/7 (5KM Radius Service Area)*

• The three official outputs that we created are attached below the dummy outputs, these map titles are the following:

  • Building Density: Produced from preexisting OSM buildings data, redigitized and prepared for creating a grid, centroids, and counting points in polygons.

  • Building Footprint: Produced from preexisting OSM buildings data and redigitized for clarity.

  • Existing Power Lines: Acquired from preexisting Power Lines data via QuickOSM.
