[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…”

[Edit: Solved! Thanks @ai6yr, @headfirstonly, and @pmisson! I had thought the ISS was too far inland for it to be the coast.]

Dear Hive Mind: This photo shows two cities in India, but I don't know which they are. I would like to know out which they are so that I can figure out what all the bright dots in the image are. The original image (with much higher resolution) is here: eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos/…

I am not sure which way is North, the image may be rotated. Are any of you familiar enough with Indian cities to work it out?

The #InternationalSpaceStation was over 18.9° N, 76.9° E when the photo was taken, but it is probably not taken directly downward.

“১ বছর ২০ দিন লেগে গেল! প্রথম ৪ জন রিভিউয়ারের প্রায় ৫০+ কমেন্টের পর মনে হয়েছিল আর এগোব না। তবে আমার সুপারভাইজার বলেছিলেন, “রিজেকশনের চেয়ে কমেন্ট ফেস করা ভালো।”
