- Abstract
- This How-To Guide is designed to help users prepare standardized, scientifically based risk assessments with the Hazards U.S. Multi-Hazard (HAZUS-MH) software. FEMA prepared this guide on the basis of field-implemented HAZUS-MH risk assessment pilot projects across the country that are responding to the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000). This guide is intended for users who have had exposure to HAZUS-MH and are interested in using the software to support risk assessment studies.
