HAZUS-MH® Hurricane Wind Model Validation Study – Florida
This report presents the findings of a FEMA validation study of the HAZUS-MH MR-2 Hurricane Wind Model. The validation study involved the comparison of HAZUS-MH modeled results with observed hurricane wind hazards and impact data. To make comparisons to the HAZUS-MH modeled results from observed data, data collection activities were conducted from November 2005 (more than a year after the storms) through August 2006. Data were collected from local, state, and federal agencies and the private sector after Hurricane Charley in Charlotte, DeSoto, Hardee, Lee, Orange, Osceola, and Polk Counties; and Hurricane Ivan in Escambia County in the State of Florida. In addition, data were also used from prior HAZUS validation studies conducted in 2004 for Hurricanes Charley and Ivan.
