HAZUS-MH FAQs: Flood Model Inventory and Data Collection

Internet Explorer doesn’t prompt me to specify a download folder for the file when trying to download my DEM from the USGS seamless website. Instead, the file is automatically opened. How do I specify a folder?

This may occur when the Internet Explorer settings are set to open downloads automatically.  To correct it, open My Computer or Windows Explorer. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.

Specify DEM folder location: Windows Explorer, Tools, Folder Options

In the File Types tab, select the ZIP extension (WinZip File file type) in the Registered File Types box and click on the Advanced button.

Specify DEM folder location: File Types, Zip extension, Advanced button

Make sure Confirm open after download is checked, as seen in the following screen shot.

Specify DEM folder location: Confirm open after download is checked

Click OK and restart the DEM download process.

For additional information, the HAZUS User Manuals and guidance materials are available for download from the HAZUS Resources on this site.
