Hazus Higher Education Resources

Consortium

Similar to the geographically based HUG

groups around the country, the Hazus

Higher Education Resources Consortium

(HERC) provides a networking opportunity

in the academic and educational

community for Hazus users.

The mission of the Hazus HERC is to

classify and distribute information

regarding Hazus use within the higher-

education community for the purpose of

fostering collaboration among institutions

of higher learning and FEMA, as well as

promoting Hazus use and analysis. The

priorities of the Hazus HERC are:

Teaching: incorporating Hazus into a

school curriculum, classroom and/or lab.

Conducting Research: for presentations,

project descriptions and grants awarded,

and by schools experienced in assisting

with Hazus data development.

Working with other FEMA initiatives:

such as Hazus User Groups (HUGs),

RiskMAP and mitigation planning.

Encouraging Service Learning: through

internships, training, working with local

governments and HUGs.
