The Emergency
Management Institute is recruiting for the last HAZUS-MH course
of FY 2005. E172 Advanced HAZUS-MH for Flood will be held September
26-29, 2005 at the National Emergency Training Center (NETC) in
Emmitsburg, Maryland.
Course
Description: 3½-day course designed to provide in-depth
instruction on the use of HAZUS-MH for advanced applications related
to flood-loss modeling. The HAZUS-MH Flood Model is capable of assessing
riverine and coastal flooding and estimates potential damages to
all classes of buildings, essential facilities, transportation lifelines,
utility lifelines, vehicles, and agricultural crops. The model addresses
building debris generation and shelter requirements. Direct losses
are estimated based on physical damage to structures, contents,
and building interiors. The Flood Information Tool (FIT) allows
users to prepare local flood hazard and other pertinent data for
use in the HAZUS-MH.
Audience:
State and local emergency managers and GIS specialists, State and
local planners, regional personnel responsible for flood mitigation
and response activities, and other Federal agencies. A strong working
knowledge of ArcGIS and Spatial Analyst is recommended as well as
completion of the E313 Basic HAZUS-MH course. The need to attend
this training should be documented in Block 16 of the application
form.
Enrollment:
Complete a FEMA Form 75-5, General Admissions Application, and forward
to the NETC Admissions Office (FAX: 301-447-1658) through the State
Emergency Management Office as soon as possible. Courses are limited
