Step 2 – analyze the available data and define its relevance

As soon as we have defined the basic requirements, we need to explore the data layers that are potentially useful and relevant for our analysis. The training dataset contains a large number of datasets, and the most relevant among them are listed in the following table:

Requirement	Layer	Potential relevance
Safety	hurricane_evacuation_zones	Hurricane evacuation zones are the areas of the city that may need to be evacuated due to life- and safety-related threats from a hurricane storm surge.
	hurricane_inundation_zones	Hurricane inundation zones are the areas of worst-case storm surge inundation.
	noise_heatmap	The raster created in the Creating heat maps with the Heatmap plugin section of Chapter 5, Answering Questions with Density Analysis, that shows the spatial density of registered noise complaints might be useful for potential assessment for public safety.
Connectivity	subway_entrances	Locations of subway entrances...
