Adventures in the“Last Frontier”:
Hazard Planning Alaskan Style
Rich Chamberlain, GISP
2
The Project
– Update the Local Hazard Mitigation PlanAnnex for the Seward Bear CreekFlood Service Area (SBCFSA) nearSeward, Alaska
– Evaluate all natural hazards– Estimate potential damages (Hazus)– Include scenarios for climate change and
land use change– Develop mitigation approaches
3
The Team
– Dan Mahalak: Client with SBCFSA– Scott Simmons: PM (Anchorage)– Rich Chamberlain: GIS/Hazus Riverine
(Denver)– Kim Pirri: Hydrology and Hydraulics (Denver)– Jon Philipsborn: Climate Change (Atlanta)– Shane Parson: Hazus UDF, Tsunami, EQ
(Maryland/Virginia)

Challenges
– Data collection
– Using existing data
– Modeling hazards
– Modeling climate change

Hazus Questions
1. How do you conduct Hazus field data collectionduring a flood event?
2. What is the best way to model an Alaskan log cabinwith Hazus User-Defined Facilities (UDF)?
3. How do you account for glacial till deposition whendeveloping Hazus user-defined flood depth grids?
4. What process should be used with Hazus to modelclimate change impacts for glacially-fed rivers andstreams?
5. What are the best ways to adapt 2D alluvial fan floodand debris modeling output for use in Hazus?
6. How do you use tsunami model mapping and LiDARdata to conduct Hazus tsunami risk assessments?

Recap
1. Field data collection: Prepare to get wet, usetechnology
2. Hazus UDF: Photos, use existing data fromcommunity
3. Glacial till: LiDAR, LiDAR, LiDAR4. Climate change: Downscaled climate change data,
regression equations with temp and precip factors,run Hazus for range of flows only
5. 2D alluvial fan model: Depth grid6. Tsunami: Modeling extent and LiDAR to make depth
