HAZUS University Clearinghouse

(2008-02-20 10:11:00.0)

The purpose of a “HAZUS University Clearinghouse,” is described in the following email note: The primary role of the HAZUS University Clearinghouse will be to promote, support and enhance the use of HAZUS for academic research, local and state emergency management projects, education and service programs. This will be a web-based space that will provide HUGs [HAZUS User’s Groups] and other user’s access to Universities that are both teaching HAZUS and using HAZUS for research and data collection and would in turn provide networking and resources for Universities and their staff. The University Clearinghouse will support state and local emergency management projects by granting them access to local and regional resources. There is a consensus to focus on three areas in setting-up a clearinghouse: Teaching, Research, and Service Learning.
