DLS-203:  Life Loss  and Uncertainty
Channel: USACE Risk Management Center
Date: 2023-05-23

Explore how the USACE RMC uses LifeSim, a software tool used to estimate consequences from flooding. LifeSim provides the tools to determine the potential for life loss and economic damages to support risk assessments. In addition, the software provides the tools to perform alternative analysis to promote potentially cost-saving measures on projects to reduce risk.

Module Objectives 
• Define the key types of uncertainty 
• Describe and demonstrate how to handle uncertainty in LifeSim 
• Leverage plots and curves to simulate uncertainty 
• Use data and data models to estimate life loss
