HAZUS-MH: FEMA’s Software Program for Establishing Potential Losses from Disasters
HAZUS-MH uses geographic information systems (GIS) technology to combine hazard layers with nationwide databases to estimate physical, economic, and social impacts of disasters. GIS provides the ability to visualize and integrate multiple data layers in any combination. GIS-technology not only enables the geographic identification of hazard-prone areas, but also establishes spatial relationships necessary for the computation of loss and damage estimates. This presentation is intended as an overview of HAZUS use and capabilities.
