The purpose of this document is to provide dam safety professionals with guidance on how to prepare dam breach inundation modeling studies and conduct mapping that can be used for multiple purposes, including dam safety, hazard mitigation, consequence evaluation, and emergency management including developing EAPs. This guidance is intended to provide a consistent approach that can be applied across the country... Topics include conducting breach assessments, methods for estimating breach parameters and generating breach hydrographs, downstream inundation modeling, and generation of consistent inundation maps. This guidance document is intended to aid in the areas of dam safety, hazard mitigation planning, consequence and loss estimation, and emergency management.
