Abstract/Additional Information

Over the past few years, the US Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) Risk Management Center (RMC) has developed a robust suite of risk analysis software to support dam and levee safety investment decisions. The tools allow engineers to quickly generate quality flood hazard, consequence, and potential failure mode information, and compute risk analysis results. The tools can interact together as a suite or independently as standalone software. The analysis methods contained within each tool are cost-effective and scalable so practitioners can achieve higher quality results from more advanced study using all of the same tools. Many of these tools were recently released on the RMC website (https://www.rmc.usace.army.mil).
