Abstract: An overview of the hurricane hazard model, terrain model, wind pressure, and windborne debris models used in the HAZUS-MH hurricane model is presented. These models represent the first three of five major component models ...

Abstract: This paper presents a summary of updates made to the hurricane simulation model that has formed the basis of the hurricane wind speeds given in ASCE 7 for the period 1998 through 2010. Since the development of the model ...

Abstract: An overview of the damage and loss models used in the HAZUS-MH Hurricane Model is presented. These models represent the last two of five major component models used in HAZUS for the prediction of damage and loss to buildings ...
