[TXHUG] HAZUS Training: Advanced course announced for May 8/9

[Craig Eissler]

Dear TXHUG List Serve members,

 

Re: HAZUS-MH Advanced Training

 

Over the past couple of weeks you have received a couple of messages
regarding upcoming HAZUS training to be held in conjunction w/ the TFMA
Conference and GIS Forum. Both of these training workshops are Introductory
courses, held April 24 & 25 and May 1 & 2 respectively.

 

The Texas Geographic Society (TXGS) is now pleased to announce an Advanced
HAZUS course to be held on Mon/May 8 and Tue/May 9. This schedule allows
students the option to attend one of the Intro courses offered in the
preceding two weeks then attend the advanced course as a follow-on. It will
be held in Austin, Texas.

 

Advanced course students should have either taken the Intro course through
TXGS, FEMA or elsewhere, or are very comfortable with a Level 1 riverine
flood analysis.

 

For more questions or to register, please contact me (Craig Eissler) at
craig at geo-techvp.com or 512-912-9695.

 

This is an excellent opportunity for HAZUS Users!

Course Description:

 

Advanced HAZUS-MH: Updating Inventory, Modifying Hazards and Mitigating Loss
(2 Days):

 

This course expands upon the introductory material by first describing and
demonstrating various means of modifying or adding to the HAZUS-supplied
inventory data using more accurate local data (Level 2 analysis).  Since the
same inventory data is used in all the hazard models this skill is
applicable in flood, hurricane or earthquake analysis.

 

The afternoon of day 1 focuses on using the Flood Information Tool (FIT) for
inputting the product of local H&H studies and producing more refined flood
analysis.  

 

Day 2 focuses on mitigation approaches and provides in depth material on the
damage assessment and loss estimation portions of the software.  It helps
students identify the information and methodologies needed to run and
compare various mitigation scenarios and understand and make good use of
various analysis options.

 

Instructors: 

Craig Eissler and Roddy Seekins, FEMA-Authorized HAZUS Trainers
