Hazus 6.1 must be installed with ArcGIS 10.8.2.

NOTE: For detailed instructions on how to get started with Hazus 6.1, please see the "Hazus 6.1 Getting Started Guide" and "Hazus 6.1 Installation & Testing Guide" available with the software download.

FEMA's Hazus 6.1 release had major inventory data, methodology, and software improvements. As a result, all previously existing state databases must be removed and replaced with the new state data available below.

Users wishing to preserve their study regions to re-run in Hazus 6.1 will not be able to do so. Instead, users are encouraged to re-create and re-run analyses using the latest Hazus 6.1 software and state databases.

If necessary, users can save and export any enhanced state databases or study regions from your previous Hazus version(s) to a known file location. Users will only be able to view and export data from older study regions.

For more information, please refer to the "Hazus 6.1 Getting Started Guide", "Hazus 6.1 Installation Guide", and "Hazus 6.1 Uninstallation Guide".

If you require assistance downloading the software, please email the Hazus Help Desk at FEMA-Hazus-Support@fema.dhs.gov.

The Hazus Tsunami model requires users to upload their own data to run the Tsunami hazard. Hazus was designed to use adapted formats based on those used by NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) and specifically their Short-term Inundation Forecast for Tsunami (SIFT) product. This folder contains sample Tsunami hazard data from PMEL SIFT for five localities: Crescent City, CA; Garibaldi, OR; Homer, AK; Kahului, HI; and Westport, WA. Each state folder contains Tsunami hazard input data required for Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 analysis in Hazus. These files have been tested and will run in Hazus, or can be used as templates in preparing your own local Tsunami hazard data. For more information on PMEL SIFT data and the data requirements for each level of Hazus Tsunami analysis, please see the Hazus 4.0 Release Notes. Download the sample data here.

System Requirements for Hazus 6.1

Hazus Program Data Updates and Open Source Tools

The Hazus Team provides open source risk assessment tools and updated inventory datasets for the public. Our latest projects, described below, are aimed at leveraging best available public data, open source technology, and transparent methodology in order to increase the accessibility of data-driven risk reduction in communities across the U.S.

Open Source Tools and Data

Hazus Inventory National Database: The national database compiles all the Hazus baseline inventory data for the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii and the U.S. Territories, into a single file that is easy to download and use with any GIS software. This dataset is designed to assist GIS professionals and the risk assessment community by making Hazus inventory data easily accessible. Download the data and read more in the data dictionary here.

National Structure Inventory (NSI 2022): The Hazus Program partnered with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to develop the National Structure Inventory (NSI 2022). This dataset was used in the creation of the Hazus 6.1 databases and Hazus Inventory national database. Download the data and learn more about it here.

Flood Hazard Import Tool (FHIT): allows Hazus users to rapidly access and incorporate publicly available flood hazard data from ADCIRC, and eventually other sources, into a Hazus flood analysis! Download the tool and read more about it here.

Hazus Hurricane Hazard Import Tool (HHIT): allows Hazus users to rapidly access and incorporate authoritative hurricane hazard data from Hurrevac into a Hazus hurricane analysis! Download the tool and read more about it here.

Hazus Flood Assessment Structure Tool (FAST): rapidly analyzes structure-specific flood losses using open source Python - no mapping or coding skills required! Users now have the option to run an Average Annualized Loss (AAL) analysis with the latest release of FAST. Download the tool and read more about it here.

Hazus Export Tool: extracts and summarizes Hazus risk assessment results in a handful of spreadsheets, shapefiles, and a visual report using open source Python. Download the tool and read more about it here.

Data Updates

U.S. Territories: inventory data updates enable earthquake, flood, hurricane and tsunami risk assessments in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. New hurricane damage functions were developed for Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands based on Hurricanes Irma and Maria.

Nationwide Infrastructure: a Hazus Program partnership with the Homeland Infrastructure Foundation Level Data (HIFLD) Program provides consistently updated infrastructure layers across the U.S. Check out the factsheet here.
