KAC uses its advanced hazard modeling technology to produce detailed hazard impact information that can be used across a wide range of disciplines and applications.

Coastal Construction and Engineering

Coastal infrastructure and commercial facilities in the coastal zone must be able to withstand the harsh coastal  environment. Hydro-meteorological hazards prevalent in the coastal zone pose a unique challenge to sound engineering design. KAC's hazard assessments can inform the design process by providing statistical estimates for wind speed, wave height and storm surge elevation for return periods ranging from 10 to 250 years.

Emergency Management and Preparedness

Emergency managers require clear and actionable information about current and potential future hazards and their impacts for pre-disaster preparedness and response planning. For hazard mitigation and preparedness planning, KAC can provide you with hazard assessments, risk assessments and loss estimates to help guide community development towards safer development locations and practices.

During a storm event, KAC provides for all active storms real-time estimates of wind, wave and storm surge hazards and the expected impacts, such as percent of buildings damaged, debris generated, percent of homes without electricity.  [More...]

Land Use Planning and Development

Land use planning and development requires a careful balancing of often-competing demands and constraints. Addressing the potential impacts of natural hazards further complicate this already difficult task. KAC produces clear, scientifically based estimates of the impact of natural and man-made hazards on the built environment and the economy. For a specific site or area, KAC's hazard assessments can not only tell you how bad hazard impacts would be, but more importantly how often wind, wave and flood damage can be expected. [More...]
