Loss of Life, Evacuation and Emergency Management - Application of Dutch Models to US Case Studies

Abstract

The objective of this project is to investigate the application of Dutch models for Loss of life and evacuation analysis to US case studies. Within this first phase data has been collected for the first case study, the Natomas Basin, and runs with the Evacuaid model have been made. In addition, a plan for flood and loss of life simulations has been prepared for the second case study, New Orleans. The Dutch team will meet USACE experts from Nov 26 29 (2012) in Davis (CA) to discuss the next steps.
