Date: July 17-21, 2006 (Rescheduled from
January 23-27, 2006)
Course Information: This course
provides in-depth instruction on the use of HAZUS-MH for advanced
applications related to earthquake-loss modeling. The Earthquake
Model, like its predecessor HAZUS99-SR2, continues to provide 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. This is
the only offering in Fiscal Year 2006.
Prerequisites: A strong working
knowledge of ArcGIS is recommended.
Audience: State, local, and tribal
emergency managers and GIS specialists, State and local planners,
FEMA regional personnel with responsibility for earthquake mitigation
and response activities, and other Federal agencies with risk assessment
responsibilities.
