TEXARKANA, Ark. -- An Arkansas High School senior recently attended the Education Accelerated by Service and Technology conference to share the digital local disaster planning map he created.

Seth Sexton created the map to assist locals who do not have proper shelter in their homes in the event of a disaster.

"The past couple of years I've made different maps, starting in fourth grade. I've made a map about service time, so how fast an ambulance would take to get to the school I was at in College Hill, and since then I've just kept making maps," he said.
