Hazus Technical Compendium
The Hazus Technical Compendium is a comprehensive collection of Hazus technical and functional knowledge articles written by Hazus users.
Why contribute to the Hazus Technical Compendium?
The Compendium series offers a good way for users to share their knowledge with others in the Hazus user community. By bringing together material from a wide range of sources, we are creating a useful resource for Hazus users, practitioners and professionals. These graphically enhanced articles will be available for distribution at Hazus User Group meetings, postings on websites, as well as conferences and tradeshows. The author

What is HAZUS
HAZUS-MH MR3, the third maintenance release of the HAZUS-MH (HAZUS Multihazard) software program, is available from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). HAZUS-MH MR3 is a revised and updated version of HAZUS-MH, a nationally-applicable software for estimating potential losses from earthquakes, floods and hurricanes.
FEMA developed HAZUS-MH MR3, under a contract with the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS), to produce loss estimates based on state-of-the-art scientific and engineering knowledge and software architecture. These estimates are essential for decision-making at all levels of government, and are a basis for developing mitigation plans and policies, emergency preparedness, and response and recovery planning.
HAZUS-MH MR3 will continue to provide support to state and local agencies in implementing programs for Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) under the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA2000). As occurred with HAZUS-MH during Hurricane Isabelle and the four 2004 Florida hurricanes (Charlie, Frances, Ivan & Jeanne), and HAZUS-MH MR1 during Katrina, Rita and Wilma in 2005, HAZUS-MH MR3 will be used for first response before and following disaster events. Over 5,000 copies of HAZUS-MH, HAZUS-MH MR1 and HAZUS-MH MR2 have been distributed and hundreds of emergency managers have received HAZUS training since its first release in February 2004.
HAZUS-MH MR3 is expected to build upon these trends. Emergency managers will use HAZUS-MH MR3 to support preparedness exercise scenarios and planning for response operations by calculating necessary levels of shelter, hospital beds, fire and rescue personnel and other supporting elements.
HAZUS-MH MR3 uses the latest version of ESRI
