Slide notes:
HAZUS-MH is a multi-hazard risk assessment and loss estimation software program developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The name: HAZUS stands for Hazards US and MH stands for Multi-Hazard.
It is a tool we can use to help us plan for minimizing damage and loss of life to prevent natural hazards from becoming natural disasters
Covers Earthquakes, Floods, and Hurricanes
The nationwide databases included with HAZUS are non-proprietary and therefore can be easily shared.
HAZUS-MH has been designed with an open framework that allows additional local datasets to be easily merged into the existing databases, allowing customization of the databases to produce more accurate results.
