\"\"<\/a>The most popular lesson from Learn ArcGIS<\/a> has been updated with a scenario which allows you to help Houston prepare for\u00a0an incoming\u00a0hurricane.<\/p>\n

Get Started with ArcGIS Online<\/a> was one of our first lessons when Learn ArcGIS was launched in 2014. Then, the lesson focused on finding shelters in Hawaii in the event of a severe volcano eruption. Now, the updated lesson allows you identify evacuation routes and\u00a0neighborhoods with few vehicles\u00a0in Houston before an incoming\u00a0hurricane makes landfall.<\/p>\n

The new, 45-minute\u00a0lesson includes adding layers to a map, styling layers, configuring pop-ups, sharing a map as an app, and editing item details.<\/p>\n

The lesson includes links to a pair of story maps reflecting the aftermath of the record-setting storm\u00a0that\u00a0struck Texas and Louisiana in\u00a02017: Where Harvey Hit Hardest<\/a> and Hurricane Harvey: Who left, where did they go, and who stayed?<\/a><\/p>\n"}],"authors":[{"ID":6581,"user_firstname":"John","user_lastname":"Berry","nickname":"john6214","user_nicename":"john6214","display_name":"John Berry","user_email":"JBerry@esri.com","user_url":"","user_registered":"2018-03-02 00:18:33","user_description":"Tweeting for LearnArcGIS is ssssoooo much fun!
