HAZUS-MH FAQs: Earthquake Model Hazard/Scenario Definition

Can I make use of my predefined ground deformation maps in addition to the ground shaking maps?

Yes, assuming they are in Geodatabase format.  In the Scenario Wizard:

   1.  Select the option Hazard | Scenario under the main menu.
   2.  Activate the Define a new scenario button and press Next.
   3.  Activate the user-supplied hazard option and press Next.
   4.  Define the maps to be used in the analysis.

See Appendix K of the HAZUS User's Manual for instructions on how to convert shape-file-based user-supplied hazard maps or shake maps to corresponding GeoDatabases-based user-supplied hazard maps that can be used with HAZUS.

For additional information, refer to the HAZUS Manuals and guidance materials available for download from the HAZUS Resources.
