Overview / Learning Objectives
The Dam and Levee Safety industry is in the process of adopting Risk-Informed Decision Making (RIDM) as a framework for identifying and managing risks associated with dams and levees. A core component of RIDM is risk analysis workshops. In these workshops a team of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), aided by a Facilitator:
1. Consider all the relevant information for a specific dam or levee (drawings, photos, history, studies, etc.)
2. Select the appropriate approach to …

The workshop will highlight how LifeSim was developed to effectively support reduction of life safety risks associated with flooding; evaluate existing and residual risks against tolerable risk guidelines; calculate life loss and economic damages; understand life loss dynamics associated with floods; and create or improve existing emergency action plans (EAPs).
Several Federal agencies and dam and levee owners have made significant efforts over the years to better understand and quantify the risk of their dam and levee portfolios. The dam and levee safety community is relatively familiar with potential failure mode analysis and estimating failure likelihoods, but there is less…

Where:The primary goal of the workshop is to provide participants with an overview of Reclamation’s risk analysis methodology and its proper role within a RIDM oriented dam safety program. Participants at the workshop will gain an understanding of how potential failure modes (PFMs) are conceptualized and developed, how they can be modeled as finite sequences of events, and how the probabilities of those events can be estimated using expert judgment. The course will cover both embankment dams and concrete structures, and touch upon operational PFMs.
We realize there are many uncertainties with the COVID-19 pandemic and Reclamation will continue to monitor the situation and adjust as needed. Due to agency Covid-19 restrictions, all events are limited to 45 participants.
Event details are available on the US Bureau or Reclamation’s website https://www.usbr.gov/international/seminars.html
