Need to show a county manager damage estimates for a flooding event? Want to know the economic impact of a hurricane or earthquake? How will you collaborate with multiple agencies on a mitigation plan? Level 1 HAZUS-MH Scenarios Provide Useful Analyses. A unique feature of HAZUS-MH is the inventory that comes with the software, which consists of hazard data, boundary map data and thirty national datasets of building stock, lifelines and the population. A Level 1 analysis is most useful for regional or statewide loss estimates in support of risk assessments, mitigation and response planning. Use this handout to show how HAZUS-MH can help satisfy many GIS and data-use needs.
