| E174 - Advanced HAZUS-Multi-Hazard
for Earthquake
Course Description:
This course is designed to provide in-depth instruction on the use
of HAZUS-MH for advanced applications related to earthquake-loss modeling.
The Earthquake Model provides loss estimates of damage and loss to buildings,
essential facilities, transportation lifelines, and utility lifelines,
and population based on scenario or probabilistic earthquakes. The model
addresses debris generation, fire-following, casualties and shelter
requirements. Direct losses are estimated based on physical damage to
structures, contents, inventory, and building interiors.
Selection Criteria:
State, local, and tribal emergency managers and GIS specialists, state
and local planners, regional personnel with responsibility for earthquake
mitigation and response activities, and other federal agencies with
risk assessment responsibilities.
