Appendix A. Installation Verification Document A.1 Introduction A.1.1 Purpose The goal of the document is to show that the Hazus-MH 2.0 product can successfully generate results immediately following product installation. This document provides a step-by-step procedure that should enable a user to start with a successfully installed Hazus-MH 2.0 product and end up with a summary report. A.1.2 Scope This document discusses only the Earthquake model steps required to generate an initial set of results. It does not address installation or any of the other hazards. The study region of interest is San Francisco County, California. A.1.3 Timing For reference, in some steps it will say that the step should take between (as example) 3 and 5 minutes. This is to give you an idea of what to expect. The timing is based on a 1.4 GHz PC with 512MB of RAM. Faster or slower computers will vary accordingly. A.1.4 Assumptions It is assumed that –at this point- the installation of Hazus-MH 2.0 has proceeded with no errors. It is also assumed that the default data inventory for California (CA) has been copied to the Hazus-MH data inventory folder as specified during the setup. Instructions on how to work with the default data inventory files are included with the ‘Data Inventory” DVD (see Installation Instructions.pdf document). A.2 Study Region Creation Verification Procedure This section assumes Hazus-MH has been successfully installed. The following steps will demonstrate that an earthquake study region can be created. A.2.1 Select “Create a new region” Start Hazus-MH. Use the region wizard to create a new study region. Hazus-MH User’s Manual A.2.2 Enter a Name Enter a unique name for the study region, as shown below. Appendix A. Verification Installation Document A.2.3 Select Earthquake Hazard Hazus-MH User’s Manual A.2.4 Select Aggregation at Tract Level Appendix A. Verification Installation Document A.2.5 Select ‘California’ Note: This dialog needs the State Data DVD (DVD A1 in this case) or the Applications DVD (as it has the Verification Data), so make sure one of these is loaded in the DVD drive. Hazus-MH User’s Manual A.2.6 Select San Francisco County A.2.7 Select the Tracts Select the first 24 tracts as shown below. While selecting with the mouse, press the “Shift” key or the “Ctrl” key to help with selection (Shift selects all entries from first selection to current selection, Ctrl toggles selects on/off for one entry) Appendix A.

Hazus-MH User’s Manual A.2.9 Finish the Wizard Appendix A. Verification Installation Document At this point, Hazus-MH may ask for DVD A1, which is the DVD with the California data. If you have it, insert it or insert the “Application DVD”. If you already have one of these DVDs in the DVD Drive then Hazus-MH will not ask for the DVD and will directly proceed to the next step. A.2.10Wait for Region to be created A progress bar will display and the Hazus-MH “shell” will create the study region. It will about 10 minutes to create the study region. When the study region creation process is complete, you should see the following screen: A folder with the study region name should be created underneath the folder where regions are kept (the default location is C:\Program Files\Hazus-MH\ but in the example shown below the study regions are stored in C:\Program Files\HazusMH\ Regions). There should be many files in that folder, but the following 2 files are of particular interest: DTSLog.txt and AggregationLog.txt: These files Hazus-MH User’s Manual contain details of the steps executed in of the study region creation process. Should anything not work properly, these will be key files to examine. A.3 Study Region Open Verification Procedure These steps will demonstrate that an earthquake study region can be opened. A.3.1 Open the New Region When the creation process ended, the progress and creation dialogs should have gone away leaving the region wizard dialog on screen. Select “Open a region”. Appendix A. Verification Installation Document A.3.2 Select the New Region The region you created will be the only one listed if this is truly the first region created. A.3.3 Initial Display Once the region opens it should look like following figure. The key elements to ensure are that the study region name is in the title bar, the Inventory, Hazard, Analysis, and Results menu items exist, and the two default layers are in the table of contents. Hazus-MH User’s Manual A.4 Inventory Verification These steps will demonstrate that the Inventory menu items are functional and that inventory and certain occupancy mapping data were created.
