HAZUS for Risk Assessment Risk assessment tool for analyzing potential physical, economic and social losses from hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes. Uses current scientific and engineering concepts in a GIS to estimate hazard related damages. HAZUS is only an estimation tool for losses due to a disaster. Source: FEMA Paul A. Morey October 2, 2014 12
Loss Estimation Process Produces maps, tables, reports Analyzes social and economic impacts Considers what is at risk Identifies hazard Analyzes physical landscape Source: FEMA Paul A. Morey October 2, 2014 13
