    2. Applications for Levee System Inspection and Reporting Flooding Evaluation and Response

    3. Background Applications Initially Developed to Support Quincy Area Flood Team within the Rock Island District Subsequent Development is Targeted to Entire Corps of Engineers through the Innovative Technologies for Flood Damage Reduction Program

    4. Flood Team Mission Conduct Annual Levee Inspections Provide Emergency Assistance During a Flooding Event

    5. Levee Inspection Purpose Establish and maintain customer familiarity and satisfaction Provide to customers an awareness of Corps’ programs Identify deficiencies on the project Assess maintenance practices Assure integrity of project

    6. Traditional Inspection Process Locate previously identified deficiencies on the project using maps, written reports, and notes from prior inspections Evaluate and record newly discovered deficiencies Prepare written report -- including tables and maps -- of project conditions

    7. Automated Levee Inspection

    15. Inspection Products Inspection Report Narrative Table Map Photos Spatial Data Used in subsequent inspections Historic record Deliverable to Levee Districts using GIS

    16. Current Status… Future Development Prototype tested Fall, 1999. (1 Levee System) Beta version tested Fall, 2000. (4 Levee Systems) Further Development and Enhancement based on Inspector, Sponsor, and Corps’ District feedback, 2001.

    17. Flood Emergency Assistance Minimize life-threatening situations resulting from flooding Minimize flood damages to property Provide technical and direct assistance

    18. Flooding Evaluation and Response Purpose Assist EM personnel in evaluating flood protection project conditions Provide support tools for determining material location Provide tools for evaluating overtop potential and inundation timing Assist decision makers in coordinating response to critical situations

    19. Flooding Evaluation and Response Design Goals Monitor river stages relative to levee overtop potential Identify historic problem area locations Sand boils, seepage, breaks Manage resources Sand bags, poly, lumber, sand stockpiles, personnel Locate structures and critical facilities Evaluate evacuation and response routing

    20. Flooding Evaluation and Response

    24. Advantages of a Flood Control Project GIS Provides historical database Data are readily available in emergency Facilitates levee inspections Provides efficient means to evaluate condition of levee project

    26. Future Development Coordinate with other District EM and Field Personnel Establish demonstration Districts Formalize cooperative data agreements Transfer technology USACE Levee and Drainage Districts Other Agencies
