Summary

Abstract: The Texas Hazard Mitigation Package (THMP) is an online digital geographic data resource for hazard analysis in Texas. When a specific hazard has been determined a potential threat, the user may wish to dig deeper by viewing detailed hazard maps and base map information to see the hazard in it's real-world context. Users who wish to quantify their risk to assist in hazard mitigation planning (scenario generation and loss estimation) may do so by downloading data into their own mapping/GIS systems where they can determine specific local impacts using this data and other accessible local data.
