Pilot Studies
Schedule
3
Dam Hazard Consequences Assessment Provide recommendations for a process a community can follow to effectively execute an economical and effective dam failure consequence assessment
OBJECTIVES
Work with stakeholders to conduct a pilot study to assess the potential consequences to a community from a dam failure
Evaluate the processes used in the pilot study to determine the lessons learned, capture the best practices, and provide recommendations on an assessment process

Dam Hazard Consequences Assessment
5
FEMA Dam Safety Task Orders Two task orders were issued in Sept 2009
Dam Consequence/Assessment
Standardized Guidance for Dam Breach Modeling and Inundation Mapping
6
Dam Hazard Consequences Assessment APPROACH Select a representative dam/communities for the pilot studies
Coordinate with state and local stakeholders (e.g., decision makers, emergency managers, planners, first responders)
Support a community with the analysis of their vulnerability to dam failure through a collaborative process
Compile, analyze, and document the study results in a report that captures lessons learned, best practices, and recommendations for an assessment process
7
Dam Hazard Consequences Assessment ASSESSMENT Impacts on human health and safety, special needs facilities, industrial
areas, and Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CIKR)
Economic and environmental impacts
Impact on local government capabilities and services
Indirect effects due to disruption and loss of function by key facilities, such as power supply and water
Impact on public confidence
Visualization of structures depth of flooding
8
Dam Hazard Consequences Assessment IMPACTS TO BE EVALUATED Direct Economic Impacts
Physical impacts Immediate recovery costs Debris removal
Regional and Indirect Economic Impacts Indirect impacts (e.g., relocation, loss of business) Induced Impacts (e.g., loss of critical infrastructure)
Social Impacts Loss of Life Psychological issues/stress related to hazard event Public confidence issues
Environmental Impacts Natural Resources HTRW Concerns
Institutional Impacts Governmental Services Nongovernmental Services
9
Dam Hazard Consequences Assessment SELECTION OF PILOT STUDY COMMUNITIES Developed Action Plan to select and prioritize communities for pilot
study
Evaluate key information about communities Population at risk – potential loss of life (significant population size within 5-15 miles of
dam) Significant infrastructure impacts Impacts to lifeline systems – impacts on first responders and emergency management
assets, required systems and networks Loss to function or performance of the dam/reservoir (e.g. loss of municipal water supply) Environmental and Economic Impacts
Identified 12 communities as potential pilot studies
10
Dam Hazard Consequences Assessment SELECTION OF PILOT STUDY COMMUNITIES Communities below the Howard Hanson Dam in the State of
Washington have been selected for the first pilot study Unique opportunity for FEMA to work the USACE and DHS Efforts are part of the Dam Sector Exercise Series 2010 (DSES-10) Initial planning workshop held in April 2010
Recently received funding to conduct two additional pilot studies One pilot study anticipated to be conducted in the Washington DC region One pilot study anticipated to be conducted in North Carolina
11
Dam Hazard Consequences Assessment SELECTION OF PILOT STUDY COMMUNITIES Howard Hanson Dam
USACE owns and operated the dam Safety concerns have forced the operation of the reservoir to remain at normal pool
elevation, therefore no flood storage capabilities To operate the dam to prevent catastrophic failure, increased releases may occur Downstream communities will experience increased flooding because of the lack of
floodwater retention at the dam Impacted areas are heavily developed Downstream communities very active in preparing for increased flooding and have been
coordinating with each other and other agencies
12
Dam Hazard Consequences Assessment SELECTION OF PILOT STUDY COMMUNITIES Howard Hanson Dam (continued)
Currently being evaluated as part of the 2010 Dam Sector Exercise Series (DSES-10) Opportunity to collaborate with DHS and USACE Attended initial planning workshop in late April Currently working with DHS and USACE to define FEMA’s role with DSES-10

Dam Hazard Consequences Assessment2010 DAMS SECTOR EXERCISE SERIES – GREEN
RIVER VALLEY (DSES-10)Overall Purpose: Enhance regional preparedness and disaster resilience
thru multi-jurisdictional discussion-based activities involving a wide array
of public and private stakeholders.DSES-10 Focus: Analysis of short- and long-term regional impacts
created by a flooding scenario affecting a large portion of the Green River
Valley. Flooding scenario will serve as the triggering event to analyze impacts
and interdependencies.
DSES-10 Goal: Develop a regional resilience strategy in collaboration
with public and private stakeholdersCommunities at Risk: Auburn, Kent, Renton, and Tukwila in King
County, State of Washington.

Dam Hazard Consequences Assessment REPORT OUTLINEHazard Identification - information that is required for conducting the
consequence analysis, the type of information required as well as the agency, stakeholder, or source of this information
Risk and Vulnerability Assessment - methodologies and frameworks communities can use to identify assets (e.g., human, structural, governmental, economic, and environmental) that may be at risk
Consequence Assessment - provide methods for communities to assess the potential impacts and the extent of damages of a dam failure on their community
How to Apply the Results – what a community can do with the results
