Target Audience:
The target audience for this training is engineers, scientists, and regulators interested in better understanding and preparing to participate in and/or facilitate dam and levee safety risk assessments.
Learning Objectives: The training includes instruction to enable participants to:
- Create potential failure mode descriptions and event trees, and use them to develop risk estimates.
- Describe the hazards that affect dams and levees and apply them to risk analysis.
- Identify relevant case histories and foundational research studies.
- Apply principles of theory of probability and statistics to quantify, combine, and portray risk estimates.
- Identify essential elements of life loss consequence estimates.
- Build the case for risk estimates.
- Explain governance and risk guidelines.
- Become familiar with other disciplines and their input to risk estimates.
