Risk-Based Sustainable Policy for Distributed Flood Protection

海姆斯岛每年发生9526056次洪灾，造成的损失不断扩大，影响到该国重要地区的经济和环境福祉。预防这些自然灾害是该项目的目标，根据该模型，将在系统工程框架内改进对以下方面的核算：a)分布式防洪结构性能的显著耦合，包括非结构措施；b)多年和针对多种事件评估的防洪系统的成本、风险和收益；c)影响系统性能的经济发展和物理条件的潜在演变；(D)多个往往相互冲突的目标将纳入密西西比河流域发生的洪水的数据，并将有助于风险评估以及可持续减轻洪水措施的设计和实施。***

9526056 Haimes Floods produce every year escalating losses that impact the economic and environmental well-being of important regions of the Nation. Protecting against these natural disasters is the goal of the project by which a model will be developed that will improve the accounting, in a systems- engineering framework, for: a) the significant coupling in the performance of distributed flood-control structures, including non-structural measures; b) the costs, risk and benefits of the flood-control systems evaluated over many years and for multiple events; c) the potential evolution of economic development and physical conditions affecting the performance of the system; and d) the multiple and often conflicting objectives will incorporate data from floods occurred in the Mississippi River basin and will benefit the assessment of risk, and the design and implementation of sustainable flood mitigation measures. ***
