Courses provide instruction in all steps of the loss estimation process, from inventory verification and improvement to running a loss analysis; how to use HAZUS results for mitigation, as well as for comprehensive planning, response, and recovery activities; data management; and useful GIS concepts. Emergency managers, GIS specialists, geologists, state and local planners, consultants, and all those involved in risk assessment activities benefit from HAZUS training.
