The Pedestrian Evacuation Analyst is an ArcGIS toolbox that estimates how long it would take for someone to travel on foot out of a hazardous area that was threatened by a sudden event such as a tsunami, flash flood, or volcanic lahar. It takes into account the elevation changes and the different types of landcover that a person would encounter along the way. The user guide describes the purpose of the tools and explains how to install and run the tools. The toolbox and accompanying code can be downloaded from this page. The source code for the toolbox can be found at https://code.usgs.gov/western-geographic-science-center-public/peat-tools/-/releases/v2.0.0 also https://doi.org/10.5066/P1WACACF
The tool on this page is the last updated version for Esri's ArcMap application. This tool is made available for download but is no longer supported by the USGS.
The Hazard Exposure and Reporting Analytics (HERA) website helps communities understand how natural hazards could impact their land, people, infrastructure, and livelihoods. HERA provides tools and data to help communities as they plan and prepare for natural hazards. https://www.usgs.gov/apps/hera
