What We Do

The group is comprised of a wide variety of HAZUS-MH practitioners (ranging from the casual enthusiast to the power user) and representatives of diverse disciplines - such as planning, first response, local government decision making, GIS analysis, risk and emergency management, and software development.

You too can join. There are no dues or exams to become or remain a member. Simply contact Eric (info at lower-left) to get started.
