“Hazus is a nationally applicable standardized methodology that estimates potential losses from earthquakes, hurricane winds, floods, and tsunamis. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) developed Hazus under contract with the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS). Hazus uses state-of-the-art Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software to map and display hazard data and the results of damage and economic loss estimates for buildings and infrastructure. It also allows users to estimate the impacts of natural disasters on populations.” – FEMAvvv
