Description
This research investigates the multifaceted impacts of the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment on February 3rd, 2023, with a specific focus on utilizing GIS applications for post-event analysis. The study aims to analyze the locations of soil, sediment, and water samples in relation to the landscape, as well as the potential effects on agricultural land use in the vicinity during the year prior to the accident and the year of the accident. Employing GIS overlay and spatial analysis techniques, the research constructs a visual representation of the data. This research aims to offer a comprehensive spatial approach and visual understanding of the impacts of the Ohio train derailment, contributing valuable insights for post-disaster analysis.
