Harris County Risk Assessment & Mitigation Using HAZUS-MH

Resource Record Cover Image Thumbnail - hz_harrisco_pres.gif Since the enactment of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, HAZUS-MH has become an important tool in risk assessment and mitigation planning at the State and community level. In Harris County, Texas, local officials turned to CivilTech to prepare a risk assessment, among the largest studies of its kind in the United States. This presentation about the benefits of HAZUS for Risk Assessment and Mitigation was presented by Annie Ding, PhD, of CivilTech during the 2007 National HAZUS Users Conference. The first annual HAZUS Users Conference was held concurrently with the ESRI International User Conference in San Diego, CA. The presentation highlighted the use of HAZUS-MH to support decision-making in Harris County in response to Hurricane Rita.
