HAZUS Modernization, Phase II
▸ Currently only funded at $1.5M. Current estimated requirements are over $6M
▸ 3 tiers of funding suggested. Tier 1:
▸ Fix half of the known defects • Defect List: fix the bugs – High Priority for partial (not comprehensive) • Don’t fix old code, rather address defects in batched based on
enhancements, leveraging work done while enhancing HAZUS and addressing critical defects
• Try to align with enhancements for Phase II

HAZUS Phase II Tier 1, Cont.
▸ Reduce breaks due to ESRI ArcGIS releases• Solution includes a number of steps to revise and reconfigure HAZUS
code to make revisions to ArcGIS less costly to FEMA and less of a hassle for the user.
▸ Update outdated VB6 code in Shell and EQ model• The VB6 code was replaced in the rest of HAZUS in Phase I. This
finishes the job, replacing VB6 with C#/.net and replacing ArcObjects calls with stored procedures using SQL Server Spatial SQL
• While the EQ model is being updated, it makes sense to incorporate a recommended update of better integration with the EQ hazard provided by the USGS Shakemap. This will provide a more “Hurrevac” like experience for the EQ module.

HAZUS Phase II Tier 1, Cont.
▸ Jet Engine Migration• Move away from 32 bit Microsoft Jet engine and implement the 32/63 bit
Microsoft Access database Engine (ACE)
▸ Migrate from Registry settings to use of a Configuration file. • This make installs easier, (i.e. no admin privileges needed)• Store the application information in Configuration file instead of machine’s
Windows Registry
▸ Training • Nine courses need to be updated.

HAZUS Phase II Tier 2
▸ HAZUS online –• Iterative approach• It could be more supportive of a response environment due to faster
speeds and easier use
▸ User Designed Facilities improvements• Modify the Hazus Flood AAL GUI from command to a submenu that now
includes GBS and UDF commands• Adapt the Hazus Flood GBS AAL analysis to work with UDF point data • Modify the Hazus Flood Result GUI menu to include UDF AAL results
command• Modify the Hazus Flood Results / Report dialog to include UDF AAL report
5
HAZUS Phase II Tier 2, Cont.
▸ Better HAZUS reporting/dashboard• Use open source PDF C# libraries to create templates for PDFs to
replace 100+ reports currently in Crystal Reports• Use combination of ESRI code, SQL stored procedures, and open source
PDF templates to incorporate map graphics and tabular, similar to parcel PDFs
▸ SQL Server update
▸ Web based inventory management system (CDMS)
6
Tier 3, HAZUS Phase II
▸ Tsunami Model
▸ “What-if?” scenarios• Develop capability for What if scenario. Start with Freeboard and Sea
Level rise (using authoritative partner data). Look to hurricane model• Improve ease of import/use of external depth grids.
