Our recent video, “Howard Hanson Dam & the Green River: Depicting the Flood Risk," has become the most popular Howard Hanson Dam-related video on YouTube, with nearly 2,000 views. This shows the value of Depiction in communicating potential emergencies to the public, but it also shows that the public has a real interest in clear, visually communicated information about this particular situation.

To help out, then, we've started a new website: Howard Hanson Dam News, at www.howardhansondam.com. In addition to compiling the most recent news about the dam, we're also putting up interactive depictions of the communities that are likely to be affected by the flooding. At the moment we have maps of Auburn and Tukwila available, and we'll be adding more in the future.
