- Description
- For this project, we were directed to choose a city in the United States that had a city system/function that needed to be resilient to a hazard of our choice. We decided to analyze the Tampa, Florida metropolitan area’s transportation system and its resilience to the tropical storms that frequently arise in the area, since it is located in the Atlantic Basin. Our poster consists of an introduction and background to the city and topic, a section that explains why and how badly Tampa’s transportation can be affected by tropical storms, a resilience assessment, and our conclusions and suggestions for the next steps the area’s governing bodies should take to improve the area’s resilience.
