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.
