• Coordinated Effort Between USACE, USGS, NOAA, and FEMA
• Considerations:– Understand Storm Events Much Better– Improved Techniques and Technologies for
Prediction– Changed Physical Environment– Level of Rigor:
• Initially Rudimentary• Increasingly Rigorous as Input Data

Incorporation of IPET Incorporation of IPET Results (to date)Results (to date)
• Strengthening of transition zones where levees and floodwalls abut – longer transition zones, hardened scour zones, deeper piles
• Revise floodwall designs – Replace I wall with T or L wall
• Harden surfaces susceptible to scour• Harden surfaces around points where
pipelines penetrate levees

Conditions Jun 06• Uncertainties:
– Upgrades to Levels of Protection?– Supplemental?– Coastal Policy?– Levee Portfolio?
• Conduct System Performance Analysis
