Default New Landmass Map Project

This might be currently underway, but while we have access to the data and the computes to manipulate it, and the plotters and printers to create them, there should be a concerted effort to get new maps out there to the public.

On the assumption that the Zeta material is correct and that the new land mass configuration will result in the complete melting of Antartica and Greenland in two years causing a 250 foot sea level rise, we are going to need some new maps to get around with.

Now for example in my home province of Nova Scotia in Canada, there is supposed to be a 150 foot land bounce according to the Zeta site, so here the map I am trying to get done up is only 100 foot sea level rise.

Now the Zeta info might not be accurate, but I can go along with the the melting of Antartica and Greenland, which at the very least will cause an estimated 220 foot rise according to the scientific info we have today. Factor in a small amount for the melting of the Yukon, and Alaska, it is easy to figure on a 250 foot rise.

Now based on this, people will need to get an idea of places that are now covered by water etc in the new configuration and where it is safe to build their houses. I mean what is the use in building a structure if it is only to be covered by a rise in water level. Also the zeta has some good info such as building on the side of valley's is not recommended due to possible rocks structures popping out.

Now, according to a friend most governments have 1/10:000 map data available for free, which would be good enough for showing say a red layer for the old coastline, and a green layer for the new coastline, with maybe a municipality overlay to help people orientate themselves. Handy for example when people are running for their lives.

And then we need a person who knows how to use the flood modeling, and has a copy of it, for a GIS program. Then if we can co-ordinate the data to that person and have them simply raise the level a certain amount for the area, and send out the map again as say a high resolution PDF, that we can go print off at copy places on say 11x17, and make available on forums such as this, websites, etc.

Then if people are motivated they can also distribute some copies in their area that hopefully people will keep and some will survive the transition to help people. Any input appreciated.
