| The following example of GIS analysis would potentially be very valuable for emergency managers. In this analysis, the GIS analyst determined which mobile home parks within the City of Indianapolis should receive emergency shelters.
The analyst created a feature layer containing mobile home parks throughout the city, adding attributes denoting the physical condition of infrastructure. This data, combined with a feature layer showing historical tornado paths, allowed the analyst to run a simple analysis that identified which areas were at the most risk of suffering severe damage from a future tornado event.
Mobile home parks determined to have the highest risk were prioritized to receive emergency shelters.
