Ageographic information system (gis) scientists visualize, analyze, and interpret data about locations on earth. which statement describes how gis mapping can in planning for floods? a) they can identify weak infrastructure, like roads and bridges, that would need repair before a flood. b) they can seismologists understand how floodwater can absorb into the ground and cause plates to shift. c) they can meteorologists understand the air temperatures and cloud formations before and after a flood. d) they can search for lost pets that were separated from their families during floods and other sever weather.

The correct answer is option A, that is, GIS can help identify weak infrastructure, like roads and bridges that would need repair before a flood.

Flood planning is utilized by mapping technicians in emergency management, public safety, planning agencies, or public works to assess the influence of seasonal flooding scenarios and establish the flood response plans.  

In the process, the geographic information system can help in the assessment of flood risk and find the location of critical infrastructure. This can further help in the repairing of the infrastructures that are more susceptible to getting collapse due to massive flooding.
