How does information communicates economic, social, and environmental information in new Orleans following hurricane Katrina
Vikki [24]

Now, the way these maps show social information is: because they point out the demographical distribution about a specific sub-group in the population, its age, and its growth.
And finally, the way these maps provide environmental information is: because they allow us to see the environment of certain zones inside the map territory.
