🚨 FEMA’s Hazus v7.2 Is Here — A Major Upgrade For Disaster Risk Modeling
--
fema.gov/flood-maps/products-t… <-- shared link to FEMA HAZUS download, documentation, use case, etc

[I used to work some with Hazus back in the back, but my career changed path; I still appreciate its strength and unity of purpose (sic) #alldataisspatial]

“FEMA’s Hazus GIS platform has been updated with a new ArcGIS Pro–based version, bringing faster, more powerful tools for estimating losses from floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural hazards.
Key updates in Hazus 7.2 include:
• Streamlined workflows for flood and hurricane modeling
• New Earthquake ShakeMap integration using USGS data
• Expanded and improved results exports and reporting (including geodatabase outputs)
• Stronger security with known vulnerabilities addressed
• Performance improvements and optimized installation process
• [Significantly enhanced and comprehensive summary reports for flood and earthquake are now available for download.]
• Full integration with ArcGIS Pro (3.4–3.6) for a modern GIS experience
This release represents a significant step forward in how hazard planners, emergency managers, and GIS professionals analyze and prepare for disaster impacts…”

“FEMA’s Hazus program provides software, data, methods, and guidance for estimating risk from natural hazards. Hazus can estimate building damages, economic losses, displaced households, casualties, debris generation and more resulting from a natural hazard event and can be used in all phases of emergency management…”

Brand-new hurricane ‘cone of uncertainty’ graphics

This is wonky but pretty interesting. After some UX analysis, the Cone of Uncertainty hurricane graphic will be slightly elongated this year to better match layperson expectations.

"Up through last year, NHC’s cone graphics only showed watches and warnings along the coastline. Starting this year, the full extent of inland watches and warnings will be portrayed."

The inland extent of watches and warnings will now be included, and an experimental cone will capture more areas at risk.

"The dangers posed by the tropical cyclone are being significantly increased by human-caused global warming. In fact, one of the more confident predictions about how climate change will affect these great storms is that the winds of the strongest ones will get stronger."

Global warming is making the strongest hurricanes stronger » Yale Climate Connections

Recent studies link human-caused warming to more powerful, more destructive storms worldwide.
