Fast Facts
HAZUS-MH can quantify the risk for a study area of any size by using GIS technology to combine hazard layers with national databases, and applying standardized loss estimation and risk assessment methodology. The GIS-based environment allows users to create graphics to help communities visualize and understand their hazard risks and possible solutions. The nationwide databases built into HAZUS-MH include datasets on demographics, building stock, essential facilities, transportation, utilities, and high potential loss facilities.
