Coastal Risk Atlas - Vulnerability Assessment Tools
The VAT is comprised of three separate tools which are designed to help with processing certain types of data within the ESRI ArcGIS 8.x environment. Each of the tools has been developed to be flexible enough to work not only with the data we are using for the Coastal Risk Atlas (CRA), but also with data that other users may have. |

HAZUS
HAZUS-MH is a powerful risk assessment software program for analyzing potential losses from floods, hurricane winds and earthquakes. In HAZUS-MH, current scientific and engineering knowledge is coupled with the latest geographic information systems (GIS) technology to produce estimates of hazard-related damage before, or after, a disaster occurs. |
