[CCoE Notice] HAZUS-MH, FEMA's software for estimating potential losses from disasters

[Charles John Young Jr.]

To:   All College faculty and researchers

Engineering Computing has obtained a reference copy of FEMA's software 
program for estimating potential losses from natural disasters, HAZUS-MH 
MR4 (v1.4), dated August 2009.  For additional information, see
<http://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/hazus/index.shtm>.

This is a large program.  It runs on Microsoft Windows XP SP3, and it 
requires ArcView 9.3 SP1 or ArcGIS 9.2 SP5 as a prerequisite.  Even on a 
moderately fast computer, the total installation time can take several 
hours.

Researchers can order the HAZUS-MH software from FEMA at no cost (see the 
website noted above).

For those who have a well-defined need to use this software on a limited 
number of computers, Engineering Computing can provide limited support to 
assist with the initial installation and configuration.
