Understanding Consequences in the Dam Safety Periodic Assessment (PA) Process
3 September 2015
Kurt Buchanan, a Consequences Technical Lead with the Modeling, Mapping, and Consequences Mandatory Center of Expertise
(MMC-MCX) shared overview of the economist's role in the Dam Safety Programs Periodic Assessment (PA) process. PAs are
performed on Corps projects on a 10 year cycle and include a Semi-Quantitative Risk Assessment (SQRA). Periodic Assessments
require the participation of an economist and potentially other planners to help assess the consequences of potential failure
modes. This presentation will include an overview of how PAs fit into the overall dam safety process, the role of the economist in
estimating consequences for PAs, and how MMC-MCX products are used to inform those estimates.
