HAZUS-MH: FEMA’S SOFTWARE PROGRAM FOR ESTIMATING POTENTIAL LOSSES FROM DISASTERS How can we plan to minimize damage and loss of life to prevent natural hazards from becoming natural disasters? HAZUS – a planning application
7
HAZUS-MH: FEMA’S SOFTWARE PROGRAM FOR ESTIMATING POTENTIAL LOSSES FROM DISASTERS It is a planning tool, NOT an engineering tool Engineering-level data (i.e. Hydrology & Hydraulic studies for Flood modeling) can be input to increase accuracy, but results still produce planning-level estimations It estimates physical damage & economic losses It assesses population needs related to emergency management It allows users to compare results from different study case scenarios, including those that result from specific mitigation actions (useful for benefits analysis) HAZUS-MH is a planning tool that estimates damage and losses from natural hazards What Is HAZUS-MH
8
HAZUS-MH: FEMA’S SOFTWARE PROGRAM FOR ESTIMATING POTENTIAL LOSSES FROM DISASTERS Software: Custom GIS (geographic information system) Runs on ESRI products; ArcGIS and Spatial Analyst ESRI products must be acquired separately Spatial Analyst required for Flood Model only HAZUS-MH is free from FEMA Current HAZUS-MH version (MR3) runs on ArcGIS 9.2 Previous HAZUS-MH version (MR2) runs on ArcGIS 9.1 Data: National data sets Inventory of assets (buildings, infrastructure, population/demographics, etc.) Users may modify data sets or model factors Users may add their own data Technical Components
9
HAZUS-MH: FEMA’S SOFTWARE PROGRAM FOR ESTIMATING POTENTIAL LOSSES FROM DISASTERS Results can be viewed & mapped many different ways Including running mitigation scenarios to compare results Inventory includes many different classifications of general building stock (by occupancy, by building type), essential facilities (several types), transportation systems (several types), demographics and more… Local data and more sophisticated HAZUS techniques enhance the analysis Outputs

HAZUS-MH: FEMA’S SOFTWARE PROGRAM FOR ESTIMATING POTENTIAL LOSSES FROM DISASTERS Recovery Recovery action planning Long-term economic recovery planning Post-disaster building inspection capability Housing recovery strategy
17
HAZUS-MH: FEMA’S SOFTWARE PROGRAM FOR ESTIMATING POTENTIAL LOSSES FROM DISASTERS State Mitigation Plan The Florida Hazard Mitigation Plan provides a framework for linking pre- and post-disaster mitigation planning and measures with public and private interests to ensure an integrated, comprehensive approach to disaster loss reduction. HAZUS used extensively for review and analysis of hazards and risks.

HAZUS-MH: FEMA’S SOFTWARE PROGRAM FOR ESTIMATING POTENTIAL LOSSES FROM DISASTERS Florida Catastrophic Planning Project The Florida Catastrophic Planning Project considers two catastrophic events: a breach of the Herbert Hoover Dike around the waters of Lake Okeechobee and a Category 5 hurricane making landfall in South Florida, which has a population of nearly seven million.

HAZUS-MH: FEMA’S SOFTWARE PROGRAM FOR ESTIMATING POTENTIAL LOSSES FROM DISASTERS Additional use of HAZUS Building Stock Data Debris calculations were performed using the Dewberry Disaster Assistance Response and Recovery Technology (DARRT) for Lee and Palm Beach Counties and a modified United States Army Corps of Engineers debris model for all others. Except where the DARRT model was used, all building stock data on which estimates are based is from the HAZUS regional database.

HAZUS-MH: FEMA’S SOFTWARE PROGRAM FOR ESTIMATING POTENTIAL LOSSES FROM DISASTERS This Hurricane Season 100 year and 500 year flood analyses run for most Florida counties (results and HPR’s to be made available via floridadisaster.org/gis FEMA Region 4 provided updated essential facilities inventory based upon Homeland Security Infrastructure Program Continuing development integrating SLOSH storm surge and depth grids for use within HAZUS

HAZUS-MH: FEMA’S SOFTWARE PROGRAM FOR ESTIMATING POTENTIAL LOSSES FROM DISASTERS Web Portal and Desktop The standardized role-based application to update statewide HAZUS-MH datasets Comprehensive Data Management Training – November 17-21, 2008
33
HAZUS-MH: FEMA’S SOFTWARE PROGRAM FOR ESTIMATING POTENTIAL LOSSES FROM DISASTERS Why use SLOSH? Use the existing partnership with NOAA…FEMA doesn’t have surge modeling expertise SLOSH is simplified and independently valid to within 20% of observed surge heights Using SLOSH MOMs, the US is covered! FEMA already pays for SLOSH basin updates, why pay for separate model development? Thousands of hurricane scenarios already run, just need to do damage estimates
