This video was created by students funded at National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site ‘Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for Disaster Resilience Spatial Thinking’ hosted at the Center for Geographic Information Science & Technology at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
In this student-made video, REU students describe research experience gained through development of a serious GIS game called Project Emergency Operations Center (EOC) based on events from Hurricane Harvey.
The REU students visit the actual places in Galveston County, Texas that are included in the Project EOC game during a November 2019 field visit to Galveston County. The students had less than 24 hours to film various sites associated with the game and produce this video as an exercise in conducting a video hackathon.
