What is Hazus?
Hazus is a nationally applicable standardized methodology that contains models for estimating potential losses from earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes and was developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS). Hazus uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology to estimate physical, economic, and social impacts of disasters. For more information about Hazus, visite www.fema.gov/Hazus .
