Hired originally to provide a risk assessment and Hazus-MH training for the UMass Amherst multi-hazard mitigation plan. Essential facility fact sheets were developed as part of the risk assessment. The contract was expanded to provide spreadsheets capturing all essential facility, risk and mitigation information for inclusion in the campus GIS. Additional support has been provided to the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission including overall plan review.
