1. Maryland Geospatial Data Assessment & Coordination TUgis - Maryland Geospatial Conference Towson University March 18, 2014 Cynthia McCoy Risk Analyst FEMA Region III

2. 2 Agenda  Brief overview of HAZUS  FEMA Region III HAZUS initiatives Recent HAZUS Training – Basic HAZUS Maryland Geospatial Data Coordination Initiative Upcoming HAZUS Training – HAZUS for Flood

3. 3 Software HAZUS-MH version 2.1 Operates only with ArcView 10.0, Service Pack 2 (SP2) Spatial Analyst required for Flood Model only Microsoft Windows XP SP3/Windows 7 Professional/Enterprise HAZUS-MH can be downloaded for free at the FEMA Map Service Center Next HAZUS Release – Summer 2014 Operate with Arc View 10.2 Service Pack 2 HAZUS-MH Technical Requirements

4. 4 What is HAZUS-MH? HAZUS-MH is a planning tool that estimates structural damage as well as economic and social losses resulting from natural hazards – Hurricane wind, riverine and coastal flooding and earthquake HAZUS is an estimation tool, NOT a deterministic tool HAZUS is a planning tool, NOT an engineering tool Engineering-level data (i.e. Hydrology & Hydraulic studies) can be input to increase accuracy, but results produce planning-level estimations HAZUS assesses population needs related to emergency management HAZUS allows users to compare results from different scenarios, including mitigation actions HAZUS is an empirical model based on observation and experiment

5. 5 Output

6. 6 Loss Components General Building Stock By Amount of Damage - occupancy, building type by count By Dollar Losses - full and depreciated replacement for building, content and inventory Essential facilities – Number of facilities affected, and level of damage (Moderate, substantial, and loss of use) Lifeline losses (for selected components) Damage and loss of functionality – Percent damaged & days out of use Vehicle Losses - Vehicles (Day and Night) (in $1,000) Agriculture Losses – Dollar losses in $1000 Shelter Requirements Households displaced and individuals seeking temporary shelter Indirect Economic Losses Business Interruption (income, relocation, rental income and wages) – in $Millions

7. 7 Basic Analysis – No change to the base inventory National Datasets (Collected in 2000) Aggregated Data General Building Stock Building Construction Type and Occupancy Replacement Cost Demographics Site Specific Data Essential Facilities Transit Infrastructure Utilities HAZUS-MH Base Data Inventory

8. 8 HAZUS-MH Local Data Integration Enhanced Analysis – Integrate Local Data, modify damage functions HAZUS Inventory can be updated to reflect current conditions or illustrate proposed development and population growth More accurately reflect actual risk Non Hazard Data Integration Comprehensive Data Management System (CDMS) enables integration of locally developed non-hazard data (Building stock, Demographics, Critical facility locations, High potential loss facilities, Transit Infrastructure, Utilities) CDMS validates that user data are compliant with HAZUS requirements Hazard Data Integration User-provided hazard maps (soils, elevation, user developed depthgrids, user defined facilities, etc.) can enhance the accuracy of loss estimations User Defined Data HAZUS allows the user to input Arc GIS point shapefiles with necessary attributes to analyze potential losses for specific structures or facilities

9. 9 What Impacts the HAZUS-MH Accuracy? How well is what is at risk defined? (Inventory) How accurate is the loss estimation methodology? How well is the hazard defined?

10. Maryland Statewide Geospatial Data Coordination

11. 11 FEMA Region III E313 Basic HAZUS Training October 22-25 2013 4-day training in 3 states simultaneously (Virtual connection) The instructors were in Lancaster PA connected to satellite classrooms in Newark DE and Fairfax VA. Students received hands on software training for 3-days, plus a 4th day to discuss the intersections of HAZUS-MH and Mitigation Planning A site facilitator was positioned in Newark and Fairfax for technical assistance Training Sites: University of Delaware, Lancaster County Public Safety Training Center and George Mason University Trainers: Kevin Mickey and David Coats from the POLIS Center at Indiana University–Purdue University

12. 12 FEMA Region III E313 Basic HAZUS Training - Outcome 40 FEMA Region III State, County, Local Gov. & University partners were trained in the Basics of HAZUS-MH New cadre of HAZUS resources in each state The participants learned that HAZUS has the ability to provide an estimate for making better decisions, and that it is tool in the planning process. 55 + individuals participated in an Interactive Discussion SHMOs, NFIP Coordinators, State GIS Officers, other State and Federal partners Highlighting the intersections between HAZUS and Mitigation Planning Initiated conversations about Statewide geospatial collaboration and data sharing Identified challenges to data sharing Identified new data resources and initiatives Informed FEMA Region III Risk MAP and Hazard Mitigation Initiatives Need for statewide data assessment and centralized storage/access

13. 13 Maryland Geospatial Data Coordination Coordination among Federal, State and Local Government, as well as University partners to discuss Statewide geospatial assessment Goal: Evaluate the location of GIS datasets throughout the State Can be utilized to inform decision making in the fields Emergency Management, Risk Assessment, Hazard Mitigation, Climate Adaptation and Urban Planning. Participants: MD Geographic Information Officer (GIO)- Department of Information Technology (DoIT), MEMA, Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE), FEMA Mitigation and Response Divisions, & Salisbury University Capitalizing on existing initiatives: MD Geospatial Inventory Website, NCR Data Exchange and NSGIC National GIS Inventory Database

14. 14 Maryland Geospatial Data Coordination Benefits Open accessibility to users Improved access to datasets developed within multiple organizations, Opportunities for multi-jurisdiction data collaboration, Enhanced understanding of how our decisions of the built environment affect the environment and in turn our wellbeing. The State can better prepare for, respond to and mitigate against natural and man-made hazards, and plan our communities to better meet future needs.

15. 15 Maryland Geospatial Data Coordination Datasets General Building Stock Essential Facilities Transportation Utilities Demographics Airport Facilities and Runways Bridges Levee National Monuments & Icons Museums and Cultural Resources Historic Districts and Structures Public Institutions Terrain Attributes Data Projection Address Year Built Foundation Type Number of Stories Available Backup Power Height of Structure First Floor Elevation (NAVD88) Basement Including Garage Elevation (NAVD88) Latitude Longitude Building Value Building Content Value

16. 16 Maryland Geospatial Data Coordination First Step: Perform State Level Gap analysis (In progress) Second Step: Outreach to the Local Governments and Universities Assess level of data maintained at the local level Local level Outreach Strategy and Timeframe Proposed End Result Use for State and Local Analysis and Mitigation Planning Use for Response Activities Develop projects/analyses which qualify for CRS credit

17. 17 Maryland Geospatial Data Coordination  Current Status – State Level Gap Analysis MDE  Kevin Wagner and Frank Siano are coordinating to populate the assessment MD GIO / MEMA  Jason Keppler, Barney Krucoff and Kenny Miller are coordinating to populate the assessment  Develop outreach strategy and messaging to Counties, if needed

18. 18 Upcoming FEMA Region III HAZUS TRAINING – HAZUS for Flood FEMA Region III E172 HAZUS for Flood Training Intended for FEMA Region III Federal, State, Local Gov. & University partners. 4 day Course – Onsite session Day 1-3: Accredited E172 HAZUS for Flood training course Day 4 : Interactive session with dynamic discussion, highlighting the intersections between HAZUS and Mitigation Planning. Both the decision maker and the GIS analyst should plan to attend as a team, to promote more valuable dialogue and awareness. Identified Sites and Dates of Training: Lancaster PA – June 16-19, 2014 Morgantown WV – July 28-31, 2014 Dover DE – August 25-28, 2014 Trainers: Kevin Mickey and David Coats from the POLIS Center at Indiana University – Purdue University Please contact me if you are interested in attending!!!
