INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR HAZUS-MHMR5 SYSTEM AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS In order for HAZUS-MH to run properly, your system must meet certain minimum requirements. Table 1 provides guidance for three software operation levels. System requirements are directly related to the volume of data to be used in the analysis. For example, reasonable processing times can be expected when using the Recommended computer system if the software operator is analyzing multiple earthquake scenarios for large cities (population > 500,000). The operator is assumed to be working on an Intel PC. TABLE 1 HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS FOR HAZUS-MH. ArcGIS can be purchased by contacting ESRI, Incorporated at 1-800-447-9778, or online at http://www.esri.com. ArcGIS and Windows products should be installed using the manufacturer s instructions. Internet access is highly recommended, although not a system and software requirement. The HAZUS operator may occasionally need to access online Help, and current program status reports. INSTALLATION Before installing HAZUS-MH, the minimum requirements listed in Section 1.1 should be met.

USING THE INVENTORY DATA The Data Inventory DVD this ships with HAZUS-MH contains the default inventory data for the entire U.S. The data is compressed as one file per state. Each file is a self-extracting archive and named simply with the corresponding state code (data for California is in CA.exe, GA.exe for Georgia, and so on). To make the default inventory data accessible to HAZUS-MH (when creating new study regions), do the following: Copy the compressed file for the state(s) of interest to the Data Path folder. The Data Path was specified during setup. By default, this folder is c:\program Files\HAZUS- MH\Data Inventory Navigate to the folder (via Windows Explorer) and double-click the file (CA.exe for California for example) to uncompress it. (optional) Delete the compressed file (CA.exe in our example) if disk-space is needed. If creating a study region within the state of interest generates errors, then confirm that the steps above where performed correctly. Installation Instructions for HAZUS-MH MR5 Page 11
PROGRAM BASICS HAZUS is an ArcGIS-based program with a standard Windows interface that provides a familiar working environment. Unlike the previous versions, HAZUS resides on top of ArcMap. The only ArcMap function that has been disabled is table loading. Buttons are added to the ArcMap menu bar to perform HAZUS hazard risk analysis and loss modeling functions (Figure 21). FIGURE 21 HAZUS MENU BAR ADDS FUNCTIONS TO ARCMAP. The user interface is comprised of a menu bar, tool bar and various screens and windows. These elements follow standard Windows conventions and allow you to manipulate and analyse data within HAZUS. This section briefly describes some of the features. MENU BAR Functional menus appear alongside the general ArcMap menus: Inventory (Figure 22), Hazard (Figure 23), Analysis (Figure 24Error! Reference source not found.), and Results (Error! Reference source not found.). The menu bar is displayed at the top of the screen. Bold menu items indicate that the items are available; grayed out menu items are not available. The menus marked with a (*) as described in Table 2 Error! Reference source not found.below are the menus added by HAZUS to the ArcMap menu. TABLE 2 HAZUS MENU ITEMS File Edit View Inventory* Hazard* Analysis* Results* Execute standard software actions such as open table, save and print. Edit text and features including cut, copy, and paste. View data and map display. Zoom in or out. Show the geodatabase Table of Contents. Add, modify, delete and copy inventory information. Select hazard maps and the scenario event you wish to work with. Modify the analysis data, parameters and assumptions. Used to view and map analysis results.

Insert Selection Tools Help Customize the layout view. Locate multiple inventory items based on criteria you provide, and search for specific record information. Basic GIS utilities menu. Help files are available for ArcGIS only. Help files for HAZUS are not available in the current version, due to budget constraints. FIGURE 22 HAZUS INVENTORY MENU. FIGURE 23 HAZUS HAZARD MENU. FIGURE 24 HAZUS ANALYSIS MENU. Installation Instructions for HAZUS-MH MR5 Page 13
FIGURE 25 HAZUS RESULTS MENU. TOOL BAR A Tool bar is a set of buttons that execute commands by clicking on them. The standard HAZUS tool bar appears under the menu bar. The tool bar buttons are used for object selection, zooming in or out, moving around maps, obtaining information, measuring distance and creating points. Details of the ArcMap toolbars can be found in the ArcGIS Help Manual. Bold buttons indicate that the buttons are available; grayed out buttons are not available. HAZUS adds two tools to the ArcGIS toolbar shown in Error! Reference source not found.. The first tool button accesses the startup dialogue for selection, importing, or creation of an analysis study region. The wand tool allows switching among the hazard types (earthquake, flood, hurricane) the user has loaded. FIGURE 26 HAZUS ADDITIONS TO THE TOOLBAR.

SQL Server 2005 Express has a size limit of 4 GB per database, which affects the size of the region you can analyze. The data for the 3 hazards share the 4 GB limit. To work-around the 4 GB database limit, the full version of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 must be used. Refer to Appendix N of Users Manual for details. 2. Components of independently developed data sets might not line up on maps, for example, the placement of bridges and roads, and facilities. 3. Inventory data and subsequently the Level 1 analysis functionality is unavailable for the US held territories. FREEING MEMORY USING SQL SERVER MANAGER SQL Server can often lock memory as a working set. Because memory is locked, HAZUS or other applications might receive out of memory errors or run slower. To work around this problem, restart the SQL Server service as follows: 1. Restart your computer by clicking Start, and then click Shut Down. In the What do you want the computer to do? list, click Restart. NOTE: Restarting will close all open applications, so be sure to save your work before choosing to re-start. 2. Restart SQL Server using the SQL Service Manager. Use the following process to open SQL Server Service Manager (SQL SSM) and restart the service: a. Close HAZUS, if it is running. b. Open a Command window (Start Run Cmd) Installation Instructions for HAZUS-MH MR5 Page 15
c. Type NET STOP MSSQL$HAZUSPLUSSRVR and hit Enter. You should see a message about the service stopped successfully. d. Type NET START MSSQL$HAZUSPLUSSRVR and hit Enter. You should see a message about the service started successfully. e. Close the Command window by typing Exit Installation Instructions for HAZUS-MH MR5 Page 16
