Preface
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Life Loss Estimation software (LifeSim) is a spatially-distributed dynamic simulation modeling system for estimating potential life loss and direct economic damages from natural and dam and levee failure floods.
The main purpose of the LifeSim software is to help studies and their teams better understand the consequences of a flood event. Although flooding can lead to many types of severe consequences, the primary objective of the USACE Dam and Levee Safety program is to manage risk to the public who rely on those structures to keep them reasonably safe from flooding.
The purpose of the User's Guide is to provide users with information on getting started with the software, what inputs are needed and how to import and modify them, and how to view and analyze results.
