    4. Inventory: General Building Stock

    5. Inventory: General Building Stock This is an example of the distribution of the number of buildings in a typical census tract. Of all the buildings in that tract, most of them are Wood-Residential type.This is an example of the distribution of the number of buildings in a typical census tract.

    16. Flood Hazard Model (Riverine) Step 1: Define Topography

    19. Define Topography The DEM [National Elevation Dataset (NED)] can be downloaded from USGS Web site as a seamless dataset using the default, automated functions in HAZUS HAZUS-USGS default download: 1-Arc Second resolution (approx. 22-27 meters)

    21. Define Topography

    22. Flood Hazard (Riverine) Model Step 2: Generate Stream Network

    23. Step 2: Generate Stream Network User defines drainage area (to generate stream density) Larger drainage area generates fewer, larger streams Smaller drainage area generates more, smaller streams, but still includes the larger streams A drainage area is the total surface area upstream [of a point on a stream] where the water flows over the ground surface and back into streams to finally reach that point

    24. Based on “steepest slope”, each cell is assigned a flow directionBased on “steepest slope”, each cell is assigned a flow direction

    25. Based on the flow direction, the Cell values now = the accumulation of the neighboring/upstream cells pouring into it (using 8-direction pour point model). The cells with the largest flow accumulation values are the ones w/ the most water is flowing, hence the “stream channels” Based on the flow direction, the Cell values now = the accumulation of the neighboring/upstream cells pouring into it (using 8-direction pour point model). The cells with the largest flow accumulation values are the ones w/ the most water is flowing, hence the “stream channels”

    26. Threshold Streams Cell values now meeting the “threshold” value (drainage area/Sq Mi. input in Step 2/Generate Stream Network) will now be used to create this dendritic pattern (our synthetic stream network)Cell values now meeting the “threshold” value (drainage area/Sq Mi. input in Step 2/Generate Stream Network) will now be used to create this dendritic pattern (our synthetic stream network)

    27. Generate Stream Network

    28. Flood Hazard (Riverine) Model Step 3: Define Scenario (Study Case)

    29. Step 3: Define Scenario (Study Case) Select the stream reach(es) to analyze Reaches are sections (line segments) of streams between two nodes created by a junction from another reach

    31. Flood Hazard Analysis Step 4: Run Hydrology

    32. Step 4: Run Hydrology

    33. If the Reach is considered a Main Stream (originating outside of the Study Region DEM area) the flow rates/discharge are found in a pre-calculated table in HAZUS. If #1 is not applicable, perform regression equation calculations AND make necessary adjustments if there are any gages w/ flow rate/discharge values that are applicable. If no applicable gage data in #2, just use regression equations.If the Reach is considered a Main Stream (originating outside of the Study Region DEM area) the flow rates/discharge are found in a pre-calculated table in HAZUS.
