Niyam's Risk Analytics team is looking for a motivated and curious GIS Software Developer to help us build disaster analysis tools for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). FEMA is transitioning its risk analysis software, Hazus, to ArcGIS Pro using an agile, test-driven development structure. Hazus connects science, technology, and policy to help emergency managers and researchers worldwide reduce disaster risk. Join our dynamic team and help build the nation's only free and open risk assessment software.

Project Team

Niyam's Risk Analytics Team is a small group of GIS, earth science, and risk analysis experts. We lead research, development, and communication for FEMA's Hazus Program which produces risk modeling software to help U.S. communities plan for disasters and reduce risk. Modeled impacts include building damages, shelter requirements, economic losses, and debris totals - information that helps decision makers allocate risk reduction resources and prepare resilient communities. Our experts have provided FEMA with impact estimates for every major landfalling hurricane in the past decade, and model estimates from our Risk Analytics Team were used by state and federal emergency authorities in four recent U.S. earthquakes. Our team is also proud to have helped regions around the globe adapt Hazus for their own risk assessment initiatives, including hurricane and tsunami modeling in U.S. Territories, earthquake modeling across the Mediterranean, and Middle East.
