This poster was assigned by NISAC, the National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center. NISAC personnel have examined many sub-systems of the national infrastructure, including energy, water, telecommunications, transportation, and public health. NISAC looks at the interdependencies between these systems to understand how failures in one could disrupt others. My job was to design a poster that highlights hurricane modeling and analyses to be displayed at Department of Homeland Security headquarters in Washington DC.

It was very important to me to show the ultimate application of the analyses done by NISAC: to help those affected by the devastation of a hurricane. This is why I chose the shocking photograph of the aftermath of hurricane Sandy (by dvids) as the focal point. The poster aims to be both eye catching and informational, in order to acquire funding from decision makers who may see it in Washington, DC.

Copies of this poster continue to be produced at this time.
