Utilising QGIS, MyMaps (Google) and with the help of github, I was able to create my first webmap. It showcases the emergency shelters in my home land, Barbados. These shelters are intended to be utilised during and after a natural disaster; namely storms. Due to the frequency and intensity of the hurricanes in the region, some of which have struck our Caribbean neighbours Dominica, Barbuda, Anguilla, St, Maarten and the BVI, it was suggested to me by a work colleague the need for maps during events like these. In doing my research, it was found that no such map was currently available for the Barbadian citizenry and as such one should be created. I hope you like my attempt to make Barbados a more disaster prepared nation. See link to follow for map: kmrg-maps.github.io/Barbados-Shelters
