Applying the Land Use Portfolio Model to Estimate Natural-Hazard Loss and Risk

The Land Use Portfolio Model (LUMP), developed by the USGS, is a geospatial scenario-based tool that incorporates hazard-event uncertainties to support risk analysis. The LUPM provides an approach to estimate and compare risks and returns from investments in risk-reduction measures.

Unlike HAZUS-MH, LUMP accounts for uncertainties associated with specific natural-hazard scenarios, such as the likelihood of occurrance within a particular time period or mitigation options.
