Hazus Modernization: Building Blocks Doug Bausch - [email protected]
FEMA Region VIII, Senior Physical Scientist

Hazus Modernization: Building Blocks Outline
Stakeholder Feedback
Modernization Vision
Lessons from Advanced Applications
Phase 1: (4 Tasks) 1. 10.2 Windows 8
2. Functional Enhancements
3. Modernizing code and architecture
4. Proof of Concepts
Stakeholder Feedback Led Modernization Approach:
There are four major focus areas for the modernization approach:
1. Technology Refresh – improved reliability, speed, and capability to take on new functionality
2. Better Alignment with FIMA Objectives
3. Improved Accuracy
4. Hazus-lite Capabilities (allowing non-technical users to have an easy to use customizable interface)
Better Alignment with FIMA:
Better integrate NFIP and Risk MAP data directly with Hazus.
The Risk MAP National Flood Hazard Layer would be pulled directly into Hazus.
Incorporate NFIP approaches and rating methods
Provide reports integrated with NFIP impacts.
Improved reporting would be introduced to more directly feed hazard mitigation plans and better support benefit-cost analysis (BCAs).
Hazus Modernization Vision: Direct use of external hazard data
1. NFHL rather than existing Level 1 auto H&H approach
2. Preprocessed and/or online integration of latest NFHL
3. External agency products: SLOSH, ADCIRC, MOST, WISE
4. Earthquake: ShakeMap
5. Hurricane: Hurrevac/Hwind/SLOSH
Modernization Vision:
Improved Accuracy: Enhanced site-specific capability. Enhance Level 1 losses improving block level losses by implementing dasymetric methodology
Hazus-lite Capabilities: Provide Hazus capabilities to a larger non-technical audience through a web-based interface.
Modernization Vision:
Web-Enabling: Many good examples (NC FRIS, ImageCat Inlet, RMS One, etc.)
Leverage FEMA GeoPlatform capabilities:
Viewer and reporting
Data archiving and access
Development and application environment
Nationwide AAL
City of Denver - Pre Project Losses
City of Denver - Post Project Losses
Objective: Provide credible
and actionable data and tools
to support risk-informed
decision-making
Hazus Modernization Objective-FEMA Strategic Plan
Result: ..using best available
data and analysis tools to
make better risk-informed
decisions before, during, and
after disasters
Sandy County Impact Assessments

Expediting Assistance for Sandy
Analysis for NFIP Impacts
Flood depths assigned to 200,000+ policies
Integrated into request to increase borrowing authority – $9.7 billion
• The funding for Hazus has declined over the years
and is now operationally funded solely through
National Flood Insurance Fee dollars.
• As a result, the technology base for Hazus has
grown old and few enhancements to the
functionality have been made.
• However, with a large stakeholder base wanting
improvements and upgrades, and with interest
across the agency on improving risk assessment
capabilities we launched a Hazus Modernization
project.
Current State of Hazus
Project Timeline: Phase 1 Hazus Modernization
August 2015 August 2014 January 2015
Task 2: Functional enhancements to the Flood module,
Dasymetric GBS
Task 1: Upgrade Hazus to be compatible
with ArcGIS 10.2 and Windows 8
Task 3: Re-architecture and source code update
Task 4a: Develop Proof of Concepts, integration of NFHL
and NFIP Rating Approach
Task 4b
June 2014
Modernization Phase 1: Project Tasks
Task 1: Upgrade Hazus to be compatible with ArcGIS 10.2 and Windows 8 = Hazus 2.2 first major release in 3 years
Task 2: Functional enhancements to the Flood module (inventory and SP release)
•Apply the dasymetric GBS exposure distribution approach
•Synchronization of depth damage functions
•Implement study region aggregation at custom jurisdiction or neighborhood levels
Hazus MH BCAR Alignment (Task 2-Functional Enhancements)
Incorporate New Expert Panel Coastal A and V Zone Depth Damage Functions (DDFs)
25
Community Based Analysis (Task 2-Functional Enhancements)
Build and analyze study regions based on CID (Community Information Data)
What is CID?
•Based on 2010 Census jurisdiction boundaries
•Linked to NFIP’s Community Information System (CIS) that tracks community map adoption and participation
•Now incorporates tribes
•Aligns with other FEMA programs (NFIP, Mitigation Plan tracking)
26
Dasymetric Methodology (Task 2-Functional Enhancements)
Simply removing undeveloped areas of census blocks for the loss estimation calculation
Benefits from 2010 inventory update and new Land Use Land Cover (LULC) release
Already completed a POC
Can be starting point for more inventory enhancements based on other LULC codes and point based approaches used by USACE and Hazus Tsunami Methodology
27
Dasymetric Methodology (Task 2-Functional Enhancements)
USACE has already completed 45 States

•Replace MS Access (.mdb) and personal Geo-Databases (pGDB) for all modules
•Migration of DTS packages to SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)
•Replace VB6 and COM architecture with .NET (C#) for flood module
Task 4: Develop Proof of Concepts
•Feasibility of NFHL data integration to replace Hazus Level 1 hazard determination
•Feasibility of integrating NFIP damage functions to perform building and economic AAL based on NFHL return periods
UPDATE: HAZUS Data & Training Collaboration
• NEW - HAZUS Sharepoint Site: has been set up to facilitate HAZUS data and training collaboration.
• Knowledge asset tool and an archive of Hazus knowledge.
• The goal of this effort is to increase its use and create a platform for deliberation and delivery of Hazus work products through the site.
This site will allow any registered user to (1) post a description of data/results they have to share with others,
(2) post a request of enhanced datasets or results that other’s might have already done,
(3) post information about an upcoming training, and
(4) post a request for training on a specific or general topic.
• To register, send Jenna McGee([email protected]) your
(name, email, phone and organization) so she can build a list to generate initial accounts. Then we can deploy the Region III – NCR HUG group page!
