Announcements HAZUS 2.1 Service Pack 3 NOW Available!

Please read below regarding the improvements made to the application:

Flood Model:

• This release will allow correct analysis of User-Defined Facility (UDF) with user-defined building,

content, and inventory damage functions for appropriate specific occupancy types

• Exports are now enabled for study regions for flood study regions containing a census block with

zero exposure

Announcements FEMA Region III E172 HAZUS for Flood Training

This is not the same course offered in October 2013 - Focus on the State’s specific needs related to flood risk assessment.

The initial course provided the basics of HAZUS, however further training is necessary to accurately operate the HAZUS models. This course will train participants to completely operate the HAZUS flood model, understand the necessary data inputs, the quality of data inputs necessary, and how to interpret the results for decision making.

Intended for FEMA Region III Federal State, County, Local Gov. & University partners

4 day Course – Onsite session

Day 1-3: Official E172 HAZUS for Flood training course

Day 4 : Interactive session with dynamic discussion, highlighting the intersections between HAZUS and Mitigation Planning. We will discuss the State’s specific challenges related to flooding, analyzing that risk and informing mitigation strategies. We will discuss the State’s specific challenges related to flooding, analyzing that risk and informing mitigation strategies.

Both the decision maker and the GIS analyst should plan to attend as a team, to promote more valuable dialogue and awareness.

Training Sites:

Completed- Lancaster, Pennsylvania - June 16-19, 2014

Next week - Morgantown, West Virginia - July 28-31, 2014

Dover, Delaware - August 25-28, 2014 (Only one spot available!)

Trainers: Kevin Mickey and David Coats from the POLIS Center at Indiana University – Purdue University

***FEMA Region III is providing the training at no cost. However, any additional costs associated with travel will not be paid for by FEMA.

Current Effort

• Performing State/District level data gap analysis

• Performing Local Outreach to Counties

Next steps

• Develop outreach strategy to the Local Governments

• Outreach to the Counties using the revised list (remaining datasets).

• Develop tools and workflows – streamline input of multi-jurisdictional data

State and District update

District of Columbia – Completed District wide assessment. Final assessment can be found

here: http://www.usehazus.com/ncrhug/projects

Delaware – Completed Statewide and Local assessment. Current assessment can be found

here: http://www.usehazus.com/ncrhug/projects . Datasets will be made available on the eGIS

system in September, and this assessment will be updated with the links to these datasets.

• Maryland – MDE, MEMA and DoIT are performing their State level gap analysis

• Pennsylvania – State level gap analysis Completed. California University of PA – Local level

outreach to Counties continues.

• Virginia – VDEM Completed State level gap analysis. Next step is to coordinate the local level

outreach.

• West Virginia – WVDHS, WVU and WV DoE Completed State level gap analysis.

Local level outreach strategy in development.

Updated Hazus UDF Functionality - Assigning

Depth Damage Functions To UDF’s

NCR How-To Series

The following are the improvements made to the

application:

• Flood Model:

• This SP 03 release will allow correct analysis of

User-Defined Facility (UDF) with user-defined

building, content and inventory damage functions for

appropriate specific occupancy types

Hazus-MH 2.1 Service Pack(SP) 03

11 | Updated Hazus UDF Functionality - Assigning Depth Damage Functions (NCAHUG How To Series - July 2014)

http://www.fema.gov/hazus-software




• Bug #855 – DmgFnId is being ignored

• Description: When user imports a user defined

facility, the DamageFnId is not being used. Users

want the ability to import a facility and based on its

user defined DamageFnId, be able to process the

analysis using the HAZUS corresponding Damage

Function. When the user elects to upload a facility

without a DamageFnId, HAZUS will use its default

damage function. When the user sets a user defined

damage function from within HAZUS and uploads a

facility without DamageFnIds, the HAZUS user

defined damage function will be used.

Helpdesk Bug Item


Follow-up 2013 Conference


The fix of the functionality is related to a previous attempt to use the

more conservative coastal residential damage functions produced for

FEMA’s Benefit Cost Analysis (BCA) software in the Hazus Flood

Model.

• Functionality - Users want the ability to import a facility

and based on its user defined DamageFnId, be able to

process the analysis using the HAZUS corresponding

Damage Function.

• Steps:

1. Develop Microsoft Access Database for the buildings following

the Hazus database design specifications:

Functionality & Steps


• Steps (continued…):

2. To access the design specifications click the

Inventory Menu, then click User Defined

Facilities.

3. After the User Defined Facilities window

opens, right-click and then click on “Data

Dictionary”.

4. The Database Information window will open

and provides “FIELD INFORMATION”.

5. Develop your GIS data to populate the

Microsoft Access Database shown in Step 1.



5

Notice that there are values placed in the Damage Function fields.

• Where are the Hazus curves?

• Front end (Beneficial for adding a curve or two)

Where Are the Damage Functions?


Scroll to the Right

• Where are the Hazus curves?

• Back end (Beneficial for adding Multiple Curves)

Where Are the Damage Functions?


flDmRsFn

Understand Curve Tables


• Take time to understand how the curves are set-up!

No Basement

Understand Curve Tables


• Riverine & Coastal A Zones (107)

• Coastal V Zones (115)

Coastal V – Less Damage assumes higher foundations No Basement

Coastal V – More Damage assumes wave effects


6. Import the Microsoft Access Database of

buildings into the UDF module by

following the Hazus menu’s; Inventory >

User Defined Facilities > Import.

7. Choose the appropriate UDF table that

you created; example UDF_NorthJersey.

8. Perform the

appropriate “Field

Mapping” by

choosing from the

left-side (Source)

then also choosing

from the right-side

(Target).



8

Double click or Single-click and then clicking on “Add” will add to the Mapping Results. When all matches are complete, click “OK”.


9. Create a scenario (please see

Hazus Manual as this step is not fully

demonstrated here) and run the

User Defined Facility Analysis.

10. When the analysis is completed

you should see the following

window:

10

• Users can manually edit any value, including the damage

function ID’s in the User Defined Facilities window:

Final Notes


• If the user specifies a function ID that is invalid,

Hazus will use the default function for the

building.

• If the user leaves all of the function ID fields

blank, Hazus will use the default function for the

building.
