In the presentation Giedrius will describe the implementation strategy that he has developed which enables the Hazus user to assess flood related losses anywhere in the world. He will introduce the audience to the European Flood Directive and how Hazus-MH can support the goals of that directive. He will also discuss the requirements for the inventory and hazard data as well as how those requirements can be met with free open source tools. Giedrius will conclude with a discussion of the steps and challenges associated with fully implementing Hazus-MH in an international context. He will also present opportunities for potential future research that can inform those working to address these issues.
