HAZUS-MH is a powerful risk assessment software program for analyzing potential losses from floods, hurricane winds and earthquakes. In HAZUS-MH, current scientific and engineering knowledge is coupled with the latest geographic information systems (GIS) technology to produce estimates of hazard-related damage before, or after, a disaster occurs.
Potential loss estimates analyzed in HAZUS-MH include:
Physical damage to residential and commercial buildings, schools, critical facilities, and infrastructure;
Economic loss, including lost jobs, business interruptions, repair and reconstruction costs; and
Social impacts, including estimates of shelter requirements, displaced households, and population exposed to scenario floods, earthquakes and hurricanes.
