Why are we here? Hazus-MH for Puerto Rico Puerto Rico needs a method for determining their risks from hurricanes and floods for mitigation planning.

8 Why are we here? Hazus-MH for Puerto Rico Puerto Rico needs a method for determining their risks from hurricanes and floods for mitigation planning. This project will produce a working application to model hurricane winds and coastal flood modeling in Puerto Rico using Hazus-MH. Damage Reports School Damage % 0.25% % 9.46% % 16.85% % 26.77% % 45.56% % 65.18% % School Damage Percentages *

9 Project Overview

10 Status of Hazus-MH Currently, the Hazus-MH 2.1 earthquake and riverine flooding models works in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. The Hazus-MH coastal model works for the Pacific, Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Great Lakes states, but does not work for Puerto Rico. The Hazus-MH hurricane model works for 22 coastal states in the US including Hawaii, but does not work for Puerto Rico. *

11 High Level Scope Extended Development of Hazus: Flood model enable coastal & ability to perform Level 1 annualized Hurricane develop backend dependencies Enable CTP to produce Discovery products: Flood Annualized for Eastern Puerto Rico HUC-8 Refinements: Level 2 Improved inventory for Municipios de Carolina, San Juan y Trujillo Alto Based on building-specific data Improve population counts based on recent PR Community Survey *

12 Study Area HUC 8 ( ) Municipios de Carolina, San Juan y Trujillo Alto *

13 Project Goals Develop GIS-based risk assessment capacity in Puerto Rico to identify risk within communities and for the CTP meet discovery (technology transfer). Collect best availble hazard and building inventory data. This work will provide additional ability for the Puerto Rico Planning Board to aid communities with creating DMA2000 compliant risk assessments. The technology transfer can be applied to future disaster response activities. *

37 Community Viz Combining risk assessment + development impact analyses National Capitol Region HUG Call July 25, 2013 Cynthia McCoy Risk Analyst FEMA Region III

38 Summary What is Community Viz? System Requirements Analyze Impacts of Current + Future Development Perform a Risk Assessment Program Limitations + Challenges 38

What is Community Viz? An extension for ArcGIS Desktop Placeways LLC - Software and services firm specializing in GISbased planning technology.

39 What is Community Viz? An extension for ArcGIS Desktop Placeways LLC - Software and services firm specializing in GISbased planning technology. Two Components Scenario Scenario 3D Geographic Decision Making - Development, land use, transportation, conservation and risk Calculate Impacts - Economic, environmental and social Platform - scenario planning, 3-D visualization, suitability analysis, impact assessment, growth modeling. Program Demos: 39

40 When is Community Viz Useful? 1. Comparing the environmental impact and social value of different development scenarios and decisions Informing future land use, development, growth pattern decisions 2. Comparing potential losses due to natural hazards, for multiple development scenarios Justification for restricting development in a specific, sensitive, or high risk areas 40

41 System requirements Latest Version - Community Viz 4.3 Esri ArcGIS Desktop 10 or 10.1 (Basic, Standard, or Advanced) Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 Microsoft.Net Framework 3.5 and above DirectX 9.0 graphics card Free Download: resources/downloads/freetrial.php 41

46 Analyze Impact of Future Development End of Spatial Phase, begin Visual Build Out Phase Load 3D models of structures to be placed on the corresponding land uses Run Build Out Points will be placed on each parcel. According to set parameters Charts window (On left) will appear with development impact analysis Charts include Number of children, Total Floor Area, Taxes generated, Total Waste water, dwelling units, employees, Charts can be exported 46

Provide the type of hazard (Flood) and the return period, Name the scenario Set up data attributes Utilize the Build Out

47 Perform Risk Assessment Pre-run a study region in HAZUS for the area of analysis Open the Scenario 360 Risk Assessment Wizard Define a new hazard event, Leave the data directory set to default Select the study region you previously developed in HAZUS Provide the type of hazard (Flood) and the return period, Name the scenario Set up data attributes Utilize the Build Out generated point file or existing point file indicating current development or future development. Additional points can be added. 47

Perform Risk Assessment The point database must have the following schema: Build Out Analysis: (General) Land use Designation Building Use Dwelling Units Floor Area HzOccupCode = HAZUS Occupancy Code

48 Perform Risk Assessment The point database must have the following schema: Build Out Analysis: (General) Land use Designation Building Use Dwelling Units Floor Area HzOccupCode = HAZUS Occupancy Code UDF Analysis: UserDefinedFltyID = User Defined Facility ID EqBldgType = Earthquake Building Type EqDesignLevel = Earthquake design Level DesignLevel = Design Level Essential Facilities Analysis EqBldgType = Earthquake Building Type FlDesignLevel = Flood design level 48

Perform Risk Assessment Open Scenario 360 HAZUS Export tool Identify the point layer with the required schema Option to analyze only selected points Identify the type of point file Build-Out

49 Perform Risk Assessment Open Scenario 360 HAZUS Export tool Identify the point layer with the required schema Option to analyze only selected points Identify the type of point file Build-Out UDF Essential Facility Identify the HAZUS Study Region that will be updated Export Open Up HAZUS Region + Re-run the analysis Compare potential losses from different development scenarios 49

50 Program Limitations + Lessons Learned 1. No edits are saved to the shapefile database, only to the scenario in Community Viz. 2. If a point shapefile is prepared outside of Community Viz, the database schema names are too long for Arc GIS, and the names must be edited in Community Viz before using the Scenario 360 HAZUS Export tool. 3. If running only the Build Out Model in the HAZUS Export tool, add the schema required for UDF and Essential Facilities. 50

53 HAZUS Data Governance Initial HQ Guidance Central location to host all HAZUS data GeoPlatform Update every 6 months Roles + Responsibilities FEMA HQ: FEMA Headquarters will serve as the data architects; defining the data submission process. This is the purpose of the rest of this document FEMA Regions: Data Stewards FEMA Regions will receive data from the producers, conduct quality reviews, and submit the data to the FEMA GeoPortal. This responsibility will be fulfilled by the Regional Branch Chief or his/her delegate (ex: Hazus POC). PTS/CTPs: PTS contractors and CTPs will serve as the data producers. Data producers will be responsible for developing the data and providing to the regions for review and publishing. 53

54 HAZUS Data Governance Discussion How should the risk assessment data be stored/viewed? Who will own the data once it is made public? How should individuals get access to the data? How are our data storage/visualization needs different from other regions, or the model provided by HQ? Other questions **A summary of this discussion will be presented during the FEMA HAZUS POC meeting at the HAZUS Symposium in Indianapolis IN, to inform the HAZUS risk assessment data governance on the FEMA Geoplatform and elsewhere. 54
