This appendix covers economic and social considerations not addressed elsewhere in the Planning Guidance Notebook. Guidance for estimating NED benefits is provided in Appendix E, Civil Works Missions and Evaluation Procedures, where the evaluation procedure for each project type is presented in its mission context. Some aspects of economic evaluation, and of planning generally, are common to every mission; those aspects are covered in this appendix. Please note: this is the pre-publication version of the document and will be updated once final approval is received.

Engineer Regulation 1105-2-101: Risk Assessment for Flood Risk Management Studies
This regulation provides guidance on risk assessment requirements for flood risk management studies including but not limited to feasibility studies, post-authorization changes, general reevaluation studies, dam and levee safety studies, and major rehabilitation studies. This regulation is jointly promulgated by Planning and Engineering. The risk framework is a decision-making process that comprises three tasks: risk assessment, risk communication, and risk management, which can be advantageously applied to a variety of water resources management problems. These requirements are part of a broader decision-making process that includes similar assessments for risks to the natural environment as well as the social and cultural well-being of people potentially impacted by flood management activities. This regulation supersedes the previous version of Engineer Regulation 1105-2-101: Risk Assessment for Flood Risk Management Studies, 17 July 2017. Note: An updated version with corrections to Paragraph A-12 replaced the previous version on 17 October 2019.
