Introduction The Canadian Hazus User Group (usually) meets on the third Wednesday of each month to share knowledge on natural hazard risk assessment and the application of the Hazus loss estimation software in Canada. Natural Resources Canada’s National-Scale Geohazard Risk Project of the Public Safety Geoscience Program supports the forum. Today’s meeting will be facilitated by Malaika Ulmi (malaika.ulmi@canada.ca). The meeting materials are posted on www.hazuscanada.ca.
