Purpose of Alluvial Fan Project

What is an alluvial fan?

Fan-shaped alluvium deposit

Alluvium: loose, unconsolidated sediment

Area of decreased flow velocity

Typically formed as a stream flattens onto a flatter plain

Alluvial fans on FIRMs are depicted as AO zones and include depth and velocity estimates printed below the label. Image from FEMA publication 165.

Mapped Fans from Geologic Data

Paper geologic maps can designate alluvial soils or alluvial fans. Most geologic maps in Idaho did not examine geology for the presence of alluvial fans. Image from Idaho Geological Survey SGM-5.

Digital geologic maps usually designate alluvial fans specifically. Few of these maps exist in our study area. Image from Idaho Geological Survey DWM-54.

Thank you!

Import UDF Data Without CDMS

• For any Hazus study it is possible to import User Defined Facility (UDF) data directly into a study region without CDMS.

▫ These are not the same as critical facilities or essential facilities.

▫ Useful for countywide residential, commercial and industrial studies.

▫ Does not change your default state datasets.

▫ Has limited analysis and results options.

• Can preprocess all building attributes in GIS and assign values to a single point for each structure.

▫ Location, Specific Occupancy, Structure Values, # of Stories & Basements are the critical attributes for Hazus to use the correct Depth-Damage Curve.

• Export spatial data to a table in a Personal Geodatabase.

▫ Need to include fields with lat/long values.

▫ Some non-critical fields work better when the data types are revised in MS Access prior to importing.

The necessary data schema can be obtained from within Hazus.

JR McGee – jenna.mcgee@amec.com

Importing the Data & Running Analysis

• Once your data is complete, move the .mdb with the data table to your local drive.

• Open your study Region and open the User Defined Facilities table.

▫ Right click and choose import.

▫ Select your data table and use the field mapping to align each attributes appropriately.

• Click okay…and then wait a bit.

▫ Depending on the # of structures this can take a few minutes at least to import.

▫ A warning will be given if any points are located outside of the study region and they will not be imported.

• Run the UDF Analysis option.

▫ This needs to be completed after your depth grids have either been generated by Hazus or imported separately.

• On the results menu, choose the return period and then open the UDF results table.

▫ Results can be viewed by type

▫ Losses provided are limited compared to a GBS study.

Just Building, Content & Inventory Losses with % damage.

• Right now Hazus does not allow you to run Average Annualized Loss (AAL) calculations for UDF studies.

▫ Equations are available in the Technical Manual to allow external calculations.

For different profile combinations the loss coefficients can be rederived based on the method provided (also in the Technical Manual).

Reminder: HAZUS Data & Training Collaboration

NCR HUG Google Drive shared site has been set up to facilitate

HAZUS data and training collaboration. This site will allow any

registered user to

(1) post a description of data/results they have to share with others,

(2) post a request of enhanced datasets or results that other’s might have

already done,

(3) post information about an upcoming training, and

(4) post a request for training on a specific or general topic.

• To register, email your Gmail ID to Jenna (jenna.mcgee@amec.com)

and the files will be shared with you. If you do not already have a

Gmail ID, it is free to sign up for one.
