I developed new prioritization methods to power an interactive map and address database. Users apply criteria such as septic age, surface water influence, flood risk, and zoning to target priority addresses for educational materials, maintenance coupons, and incentive programs.
Paired dynamic map and database for local decision making and management applications.
Selection of 2’ x 3’ engineering-style maps prepared for Save the Bay. The maps display the parcel-level priority ranking for septic systems. Some display surface water influence, while others display sea level rise scenarios.
