<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN><SPAN>The default inventory in HAZUS-MH MR4 contains estimate of potable water pipelines aggregated at the census tract level. This pipeline data was developed using the US Census TIGER street file datasets. By default, HAZUS-MH MR4 assumes eighty (80) percent of the pipes are brittle. The remaining pipes are assumed to be ductile. </SPAN></SPAN></P><P><SPAN> HAZUS-MH MR4 calculates expected number of leaks and breaks per census tract and a simplified evaluation of the potable water system network performance (i.e. number of households without water). </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>(Based upon the HAZUS-MH MR4 Technical User’s Manual: Earthquake Model. For further information, refer to the manual.)When this layer is turned on, click on any area of the map to view the estimated number of households without water, day 1 of the earthquake. Click on any county to see the number of households without water, number of persons in need of water, and number of gallons needed per day for that county. </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
