Post-Assessment of Nashville Tornado
Embedded Files
This page presents a community mapping project developed to support spatial understanding of the 2020 Nashville tornado and its broader neighborhood context. The map highlights geographic patterns, surrounding infrastructure, and community characteristics that are useful for exploration, learning, and applied analysis.
Rather than serving as a one-time event page, this project functions as an ongoing example of how spatial data can be used to examine disaster impacts, recovery contexts, and place-based conditions through interactive mapping.
What This Map Shows
This map includes layers that help users explore the spatial context surrounding the 2020 Nashville tornado, such as:
• Tornado-affected areas and related geographic references
• Community and neighborhood features
• Built environment and infrastructure context
• Spatial layers that support understanding of recovery, vulnerability, and access
These layers can be viewed individually or together to better understand how location, infrastructure, and community characteristics intersect.
How to Use This Map
• Turn layers on and off to explore different types of spatial information
• Zoom in to examine neighborhood-level patterns
• Click map features to view additional details
• Use the map as a learning, demonstration, or exploratory tool
• Compare spatial relationships across layers to support analysis or discussion
This map is designed to support education, community engagement, and exploratory research using place-based data.
Project Context
This project originated as part of a community mapping effort following the 2020 Nashville tornado and continues to serve as a reference example for using interactive maps to visualize disaster-related and community-level information.
