FEMA's HAZUS-MH with ArcGIS 10.1?

Question

Does anyone know if there is a work around/patch/etc. to be able to use FEMA's HAZUS-MH software with 10.1? I just received their latest version (2.1, Feb 2012) and when I try and install it say I need 10.0 SP2 and then it quits setup.  I've read it will run on 10.0 SP3 (don't know about 4) but isn't guaranteed to work properly - I'd be fine with it possibly not working 100% properly, but I don't appear to even have that option as it won't even run though setup.  Anyone dealt with this problem yet?

I find it rather ironic, but not surprising, that we have this incompatibility problem dragging on. I had heard indications that it will exist until the latter part of this year.

Anyone seen/heard of any update to this situation?  I am about to start using Hazus-MH but have 10.1 installed and don't really savour the idea of uninstalling and re-installing 10.0 SP2, then being stuck at that version for everything else besides Hazus use.

Any info is appreciated, thanks.

I run the Desktop version but I had a full system crash and lost my 10.0 version and now am stuck with 10.1. The primary reason that I even invested in ESRI's product was so that I could run HAZUS and not have to rely on the FEMA regional staff to do modeling. I'm not looking for a free copy, I'll pay standard single use license fee if I have to.

I found this on the LinkedIn user group "Hazus"....

"Hazus and ArcGIS 10.1
As a reminder, Hazus 2.1 is not compatible with ArcGIS 10.1. For now, when running Hazus you will need to pair it with ArcGIS 10.0 Service Pack 2(SP2). Once the next Hazus release is scheduled, FEMA will notify users. If you have any questions, please post them here or email: helpdesk@support.hazus.us
We apologize for any inconvenience!"

Hope this helps.
