Week 9 - Homeland Security Prepare

I didnt' have any issues up to this point. I have used another ESRI workbook and like the detail in which the instructions are presented.

The only issues I had with this deliverable was importing the layer. I had to manualy assign the labels. Other than that everything went smoothly. The roads layer being completed for us was helpful.

Week 4 Floods and HAZUS‐MH Flood




This analysis is based on user provided discharge values. HAZUS estimates the number of households that are expected to be displaced from their homes due to the flood and the associated potential evacuation. HAZUS also estimates those displaced people that will require accommodations in temporary public shelters. The model estimates 278 households will be displaced due to the flood. Displacement includes households evacuated from within or very near to the inundated area. Of these, 584 people (out of a total population of 162,905) will seek temporary shelter in public shelters. The table in the map depicts building-related economic loss.


This is an analysis of a Mecklinberg County, NC, Riverine Flood Model based on a 100 year return period. The scenario produced hydraulic calculations for the reaches depicted in the map above. The table included in the map was produced from Global Reports Summary, showing there are 63,883 building in the region which have an aggregate total replacement value of 14,814 million (2006 dollars). This table also represents relative distribution of the value with respect to the general occupancies by Study Region and Scenario respectively.
