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
