Safer City: Using Google Earth

Start by clicking on this link to load the Safer City Google Earth file. Have a good look around San Fransisco- click on the panoramas & webcams. Then have a look at the layer features, such as the 3-D buildings & terrain.

The next step is to look at the project layers which show the fault lines, the areas in danger from liquifaction & landslides. There is a live link to recent earthquakes.

Your task is to choose the safest location for a new hospital. Use a screen dump to produce a map & annotate it to explain your choice.
