Flood model users can be broken into two groups those who perform the analysis and those who use the results For some efforts these two groups will consist of the same people but generally this will not be the case However the more interaction that occurs between these two groups the better the analysis will be End users of the loss estimation analysis need to be involved from the beginning to make results more usable Those who performed the flood model analysis must at a minimum have a basic understanding of flood risk issues Even Level 1 users will be prompted to enter appropriate community specific information such as the drainage area the model should use when generating the stream network or the 100 year Still Water Elevation SWEL when performing a coastal analysis In many cases the results will be presented to audiences 1 e city councils and other governing bodies that have little technical knowledge of the flood loss problem To obtain the best results it is assumed that the loss analysis will be performed by a team consisting of floodplain manager s structural engineer s economist s sociologist s hydrologist s emergency planner s public works personnel and the loss estimate users These individuals are needed to develop flood return periods or discharges of interest or concern develop and classify building inventories provide and interpret economic data provide information about the local population and t

19. Figure 3 56 Stream Network Running the stream network the first time is fairly time consuming because the model performs an analysis that fills in spurious sinks in the DEM However in order to save the user time the model saves the results of the sink filling process so that if the user decides to change the drainage area number the model will not need nearly as much time to perform the analysis For example if the user runs stream network at 5 square miles and then decides that the network is not fine enough the change to 1 0 square miles will run significantly quicker than the original analysis If a river to be analyzed forms a border between counties it is suggested to include the counties on both sides of the river when creating the study region The stream network in HAZUS is known as a synthetic network because it is derived entirely from the DEM No imagery or pre existing map layers are used in its generation More specifically streams in a synthetic network exist wherever at DEM grid cell locations that receive drainage from a threshold number of upstream grid cells If the DEM is not large enough the threshold number of grid cells may not be reached An example of this is shown in Figure 3 57 It shows a study region consisting of one county for which the one river in red forms a border But because the DEM does not include areas draining to both sides of the river the resulting synthetic stream is discontinuous There are s

50. C 8 Impacts of Flood Warning Systems The current methodology allows the user to estimate the potential reduction in flood losses due to flood forecasting or warning The current methodology uses the Day Curves developed by the Chicago District of the US Army Corps of Engineers The user should review the Flood Model User Manual to see how the dialog is used to modify the damage associated with any given flood The user however should review the Day curves in the Technical Manual to estimate the amount of damage reduction that might be afforded for their community For example if the community has historically received only 15 minutes of flood warning the user can view the curve and estimate the total expected damage reduction based on effective warning and effective response The effectiveness of the warning and the effectiveness of the response should drive the users selection of the expected warning reduction For example if the user believes that they can effectively warn the population either via radio TV and perhaps police fire notification such as reverse 911 and the user also believes the population understands the notification and effectively responds then they should select the value provided by the Day Curve If the user believes there are limitations to this warning and response then they should select a lower value HAZUS MH MR3 User Manual

North Fork is 62 810 cfs a little less than the 50 year flood discharge value The regulated flow at the potential dam site is 14 000 cfs and therefore the reduction is 48 810 cfs The effects of the dam downstream at the upstream node of the Shenandoah River would be to reduce the 100 year flood discharge value from 142 750 to about 93 940 cfs Such an analysis including the accompanying loss estimation in HAZUS can be used to justify a more detailed investigation into regulating the flow some upstream C 7 Impacts of Building Levees In general DEMs are not reliable for identifying a continuous embankment with relatively little width Because grid cells are connected at the corners as well as the sides an embankment that is not a straight line in the strictest sense must be at least two cells wide to be treated as a barrier to flow A tool is available in HAZUS to add a levee alignment attribute the levee with a level of protection and for Level 1 analyses determine within the limits of a level 1 analysis the effects of a levee on flood depths within the unprotected portion of the floodplain In areas identified as protected by a levee flood depths are zero for frequencies up to the recurrence interval of the level of protection provided by the levee For recurrence intervals exceeding the level of protection flood depths are those computed without consideration of the levee Similarly if the option to determine the ramifications of a le
