comprehensive Data management for
HaZus mH (E317)
This course focuses on the HAZUS MH inventory.
It is recommended for GIS analysts, database
administrators, and others who will be responsible
for integrating local data into the HAZUS MH
database structure.
It will include an in-depth discussion of the
methodologies that were used to develop and
compile the HAZUS MH provided inventory and
it will identify the issues associated with using that
inventory for purposes other than those for which
it is intended. A significant portion of the course
will be devoted to exploring a variety of strategies
and techniques for updating both the site-specific
and aggregate inventory with local data. Update
processes for both the State geodatabases and study
region specific data will be covered. The course will
also help participants effectively prepare for their
own data updating projects by identifying those
inventory elements that have the most impact on
the estimation of losses for flood, earthquake, and
hurricane analysis events. Numerous hands-on
exercises will be completed during the course.
Selection Criteria: The audience includes State and
local emergency managers and GIS specialists, State
and local planners, regional personnel responsible
for mitigation and response activities, and other
Federal agencies. A strong working knowledge of
ArcGIS is recommended.
Prerequisites: E313, Basic HAZUS MH, course, in field
or resident version and E190, ArcGIS for Emergency
Managers, or previous or current use of HAZUS or
ArcGIS software in performing your job.
