11 HAZUS wind model methodology Hazard load resistance damage loss methodology 11

12 HAZUS limitations HAZUS at present cannot model: Storm surges, wave aedamage, age, or wind damage age to transportation, ta spotato,utility ty networks, tree damage to buildings Wind and Flood models are independent No ability to model floods caused by hurricane rains or flooding by urban storm water runoff; Potential for duplication of damage/losses Low intensity storms and winds are difficult to model Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne in Alachua County HAZUS does not account for events thatprecede the scenario Soil saturation, sequential storm strikes, etc. Scale and accuracy Regional scale scenarios give most accurate damage and loss estimates 12

68 Trend Analyses and Future Activities 100% Building Damage (% T Total Units) 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 2005 R2 = % % 20% 10% 0% Urban Conservation Peak Windspeed (m ph) 68

69 Trend Analyses Trend analyses were prepared to determine the extent of damageto buildings and debris generation associated with intensity of peak and sustained wind speeds. Results indicate that little building damage occurs until peak wind speeds exceed approximately 90 mph. Beyond this point, the increase in damage and building debris generation increases exponentially with respect to increases in peak wind speed. However, significant damage to buildings from fallen trees and, significant vegetative debris generation is likely at sub hurricane wind speed 69

77 Trend Analyses Debris Hurricane Debris Estimating Model Developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Contained in the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 2003 Debris Management Guide, FEMAPublication 325 Based on actual data from Hurricanes Frederic, Hugo and Andrew and has a reported accuracy of +/ 30% Assumes approximately 30% of the debris will be clean woody wastes; remaining 70% assumed to be mixed (C&D) debris Of the 70% mixed C&D, 42% is assumed to be burnable after sorting, 5% is soil, 15% are metals and 38% landfill 77

78 Trend Analyses Debris Hurricane Debris Estimating Model Q = H * C * V * B * S * Z where: Q = the quantity of hurricane generated debris, yd 3 H = the estimated number of households impacted C = a storm category factor, yd 3 V = a vegetation characteristic multiplier B = a commercial/business/industrial il/b i /id tiluse multiplier li S = a storm precipitation characteristic multiplier Z = percentage of land area impacted 78
