HAZUS®MH MR3 Hurricane Model Technical Manual
The HAZUS-MH Hurricane Wind Model is an improvement over existing loss estimation models because it uses a wind hazard-load-damage-loss framework. New in HAZUS-MH MR3 Flood Model: Data: Commercial data updated to Dun & Bradstreet 2006; Building valuations updated to R.S. Means 2006, and; Building counts based on census housing unit counts for RES1 (single-family dwellings) and RES2 (manufactured housing) instead of calculated building counts. Methodology: Storms for 2004 and 2005 added to the historic storms database and updates made for several existing historic storms; Use of NOAA hurricane advisory data to model storms restored with an adjustment feature for calculating building damage and loss; New probabilistic storm set reflecting updates to the Holland pressure profile model and filling model; Updated wind field model for user-defined storms, and; New vulnerability functions to permit calculation of additional losses to manufactured housing due to tree blowdown.
