Learn best practices for estimating dam and levee safety risks considering hazards, system response, and consequences. The basis for this course is the Best Practices in Dam and Levee Safety Risk Analysis Manual, developed jointly by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Bureau of Reclamation (USBR). Designed with cross-discipline experience in mind, this course summarizes the governance and guidelines relevant to dam and levee safety risk analysis, provides an overview of probability and statistics, and describes methodologies for estimating and portraying risks, and for building the case for risk estimates.

Explore how the USACE RMC uses LifeSim, a software tool used to estimate consequences from flooding. LifeSim provides the tools to determine the potential for life loss and economic damages to support risk assessments. In addition, the software provides the tools to perform alternative analysis to promote potentially cost-saving measures on projects to reduce risk.
