Cost distance after flood

Cost allocation after flood

Question 1. By what percentage will travel time from the nearest fire station increase at
any given
location?
Reclassify
street:
Street layer was reclassified into on-road (1) and off-road (30) using Reclassify tool (Road Factor)
Cost distance: Resulting grid was subjected to Cost distance tool, which gave travel time before flooding
Repeated above steps for after flooding:
Before repeating above steps:

Flow Direction: Elevation grid was subjected to Flow Direction tool to determine the direction of flooding
Flow Accumulation: Grid obtained from Flow Direction was subjected to Flow Accumulation tool. This gave where flooding will be
accumulated
Reclassify: The grid obtained was reclassified into less than 10, 000 sq. ft (1) and more than 10, 000 sq.ft (2) because each pixel is 10 ft x
10ft
Focal Statistics: This tool was used on the reclassified grid above to increase the size of the pixel so that trucks cant move diagonally
through a dry pixel
Reclassify: Above grid was reclassified, flooding as NoData and other pixels as 1 (This is Flood Friction grid)

Raster Calculator: Raster Calculator tool was used to multiply Road Factor and Flood Friction grid
Cost Distance:
