HAZUS: HAZUS-MH Uses: Map Series
The intent of the HAZUS-MH Map Series Templates, which was launched in 2006, is to share innovative HAZUS-MH products that have been developed since 2005 to support risk assessments, mitigation planning and support for disaster operations. A standardized template has been developed to display the maps with descriptions of the data and analysis. Each map includes an explanation of how the analysis can be used to support decision making for hurricanes, floods and earthquakes. The map templates are available as Handouts or Posters.
