“FEMA’s Hazus GIS platform has been updated with a new ArcGIS Pro–based version, bringing faster, more powerful tools for estimating losses from floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural hazards.
Key updates in Hazus 7.2 include:
• Streamlined workflows for flood and hurricane modeling
• New Earthquake ShakeMap integration using USGS data
• Expanded and improved results exports and reporting (including geodatabase outputs)
• Stronger security with known vulnerabilities addressed
• Performance improvements and optimized installation process
• [Significantly enhanced and comprehensive summary reports for flood and earthquake are now available for download.]
• Full integration with ArcGIS Pro (3.4–3.6) for a modern GIS experience
This release represents a significant step forward in how hazard planners, emergency managers, and GIS professionals analyze and prepare for disaster impacts…”

“… [The] latest peak in the AI market comes amid a multitrillion-dollar spending spree on related infrastructure such as datacentres. Meanwhile, companies are attempting to deploy the technology in a way that makes investing in it worthwhile. Here’s a look at what stage the AI boom is at and six key charts that tell us how we got here…
• Datacentres are propping up US GDP - …This means that datacentres – and the AI boom – carry a disproportionate share of US growth, and a large part of why the world’s largest economy, despite significant headwinds, still looks healthy. Any dent in this expenditure could have economic, and thus political, consequences…
• AI has sent stocks soaring
• Expenditure is growing at a staggering rate
• Firms and consumers are adopting AI at pace
• Claude is snapping at ChatGPT’s heels
• AI is getting more expensive to use
• Datacentre building might not keep pace with demand
• What AI models can do is expanding rapidly…”
