Decision Support System for Water Infrastructure Security Human Consequence Module (DSS-WISETM HCOM) is an analytical module for automated assessment of the human consequences of dam-break floods. The National Center for Computational Hydroscience and Engineering (NCCHE) and the University of Mississippi developed the module with funding provided by the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through a contract with Argonne National Laboratory.
DSS-WISE Lite is a web-based, automated two-dimensional dam-break flood modeling and mapping capability developed by the National Center for Computational Hydroscience and Engineering (NCCHE), the University of Mississippi. The development of the web-based tool and its operation and maintenance is supported by the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Secure, web-based graphical user interface and map server providing analytical capabilities and a decision support system for dam/levee security.
Existing hazard potential classifcation systems are numerous and vary within and between the federal and state sectors. These guidelines set forth a hazard potential classifcation system for dams that is simple, clear, concise, and adaptable to any agencys current system. The intent is to provide straightforward defnitions that can be readily understood by the public and applied uniformly by all federal and state dam safety agencies. The guidelines do not establish how the system will be used, such as prescribing specifc design criteria or prioritizing inspections. Those responsibilities remain with the responsible regulatory authority.
