This course explains the process of defining a riverine flood hazard and performing loss estimations using Hazus-MH. While Hazus-MH offers a wide range of options for defining a flood hazard, this course focuses on the two options that require the least amount of user input: defining a flood hazard based on a return period, and defining a flood hazard based on a stream discharge. These procedures are frequently applied by communities interested in understanding the potential social and economic impacts that might occur as a result of flooding.
