9HAZUS-MH equips decision-makers to
- IDENTIFY vulnerable areas that may require
planning considerations (e.g., land use or
building code requirements) - ASSESS the level of readiness and preparedness to
deal with a disaster before the disaster occurs - ESTIMATE potential losses from specific hazard
events, including pre-event, near real-time, and
post-event report capability - DECIDE on how to allocate resources for the most
effective and efficient mitigation, response and
recovery - PRIORITIZE the mitigation measures that need to
be implemented to reduce future losses
