HEC-FIA
The Hydrologic Engineering Center's (HEC) Flood Impact Analysis (HEC-FIA) software is a tool to help identify the consequences from a single event. HEC-FIA was developed by HEC in collaboration with the Risk Management Center (RMC) and the Engineering Research and Design Center (ERDC). HEC-FIA evaluates consequences from events defined by hydraulic model output such as gridded data (e.g., depth and arrival time Grids) or HEC's Data Storage System (HEC-DSS) Stage Hydrographs. The consequences HEC-FIA computes include economic losses (losses to structures and their contents), agricultural losses, and expected life loss from these hydraulic events.

| Warning Issuance Scenario | In HEC-FIA the warning issuance defines the moment a warning is issued to the population at risk. The issuance of warning can be generated as the result of a hydraulic event (e.g. the exceedance of a specified stage at a particular location or appearance of water on the interior side of a levee) or the passage of an amount of time in the model simulation (e.g. thirty minutes after the start of the simulation). A lag can be specified to simulate the time between the physical occurrence of the event and the human response of issuing a warning in response to that event. If the user defines a warning issuance relative to a rule that uses a specific location and threshold, the warning issuance is dependent upon a particular inundation configuration and hydraulic event. If the user defines a warning issuance relative to start time, the warning issuance works with any alternative, and is dependent upon the start time of the time window used in the simulation. | [] |
