Depiction & DepictionPrep both make use of Depiction’s simulation technology, letting you do rapid, basic simulations of various scenarios. The two programs do have some differences–DepictionPrep only includes disaster simulation elements, and the variables for many of those elements have been simplified.

The experience did provide an opportunity, though, to demonstrate how easily Depiction’s flood element can simulate things like tsunami inundation and storm surges. It’s one example of a very simple but powerful tool that Depiction has–just drop a flood in the water body, More >

Using Depiction to create and display floods requires having elevation data. The elevation data available through Depiction’s Quickstart resource list is from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) – it is their default “30 meter resolution” – in other words, every 100 feet or so, it measures the height of the terrain. In general, this More >
