3-19 HAZUS-MH – GIS Science and Risk Assessment
5-20 What is HAZUS? Facilitates a risk-based approach to mitigation Calculates scientifically-defensible damages, economic losses, and mitigation benefits Identifies and visually displays hazards and vulnerabilities Free ArcGIS 9 extension
5-21 What is HAZUS? HAZUS-MH allows user to IDENTIFY vulnerable areas ASSESS level of readiness and preparedness to deal with a disaster before disaster occurs ESTIMATE potential losses from specific hazard events DECIDE on how to allocate resources for most effective and efficient response and recovery PRIORITIZE mitigation measures that need to be implemented to reduce future losses (what if)
5-22 What is HAZUS? Inventory is divided into two categories Common to all hazards General building types and occupancies Lifelines Replacement costs Demographics Hazard-specific Specific building types Elevation Building configurations
5-23 User Levels Level 3 Level 2 Level 1 Combinations of local and default hazard, building, and damage data Default hazard, inventory, and damage information Input hazard specific data Required User Effort and Sophistication
5-24 Supported Hazards Hurricanes Riverine and Coastal Floods Earthquakes
5-25 Who Uses HAZUS? Over 4,200 users in 2004 – 19,600 users predicted by 2008 International users – Norway, Turkey, and Sweden pilot programs
