Wisconsin Emergency Management: Using HAZUS-MH to Evaluate Flood Risks and Losses across the State
In 2005, the agency charged with helping safeguard the State of Wisconsin against the impacts of all types of disasters initiated a significant undertaking: to conduct a 100-year flood risk and loss estimate that could apply to the entire state. While still engaged in that ambitious project, Wisconsin Emergency Management (WEM) has also been preparing for the launch of a second statewide assessment, one that will utilize the powerful processing abilities of HAZUS-MH methodology. A comprehensive study of flood risks and losses can prove particularly useful in a state such as Wisconsin, which contains many lakes and rivers. When rainfall or snowmelt exceeds normal levels, the State can suddenly find itself facing a flood threat of huge proportions underscoring the pressing need for analytical research and predictive models.
