The document discusses the US Army Corps of Engineers' approach to flood risk management. It advocates for a comprehensive, risk-informed systems approach that considers entire river basins and coastal zones. Key aspects include quantifying and communicating residual risks, fostering collaboration among stakeholders, and planning for long-term performance and resilience of flood protection systems. The Corps' actions include risk-informed decision making, communication of risk to the public, and taking a systems approach that considers interdependencies.

Notas del editor
IPET findings are summarized here. Political and engineering communities are both not comfortable with change, be it climate dynamics or subsidence or demographics. It is hard to hit a moving target, especially when it is out of sync with a 2 to 6 year funding or election cycle. Equally big is shedding the short term investments we as a nation are too comfortable making. Katrina is a poster child for the wisdom of life cycle, resilience, redundancy and such. We must take a systems approach and we can only do that if we start from the beginning with a systems planning approach. Our infrastructure must not only be systems based but be agile enough to be adapted to new demands whether they come from the hazard, system or consequence part of the equation. Lastly we have to accelerate the change in our policies and practice, we can not continue the current pace of change in the face of an accelerating increase in knowledge and technology.
Actions for Change. LTG Van Antwerp is continuing effort here, and has grouped LTG Strock’s 12 actions into 4 overall themes, listed here. Incorporating lessons learned from IPET, HPDC, etc. Impetus came from Civil Works, but Actions are applicable to all aspects of USACE mission.
The Interagency Levee Task Force was started after the midwest flood event of 2008 as a way to help with the mitagation after the event. The group identified regional partners, facilitated cpmprehensive regional approach and created working relationships which furthered the goals fo the regions. The ILTF was chartered for one year. In August a new charter was initaited for a longer term Regional Flood Risk Management Team. There is a commitment to work for the long term solutions for flood risk management in the region.
Talking Points – The world has changed The Corps in the early years worked on “controlling” floods We moved to “reducing flood damages” Now taking a major step to “managing flood risk” with the understanding that flood damage reduction projects can not completely eliminate all flood risk. This is an illustrative Venn diagram of our Flood Risk Management Program A flood risk management program does not presently exist for the nation The Corps has stepped up to lead stakeholders and responsible parties in better managing flood risk for the nation Examples IFRMC – working hand-in-hand with FEMA and nonfederal stakeholders on policy issues Silver Jackets – State led, on issues selected by the state, we are there to help ILTF – local, State, federal collaborative for post flood will evolve to collaborative for life cycle of flood management system This will be a cultural change to Corps approach and thinking as we transition from flood damage reduction to flood risk management
SUPPORT TO OTHER (NON-DEFENSE) GOVERNMENT AGENCIES: -- Number of Federal agencies supported: Over 70 -- Expenditures for FY06: $4.0 billion -- Biggest Customers: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA-DHS), $3.2 billion; Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), $287 million Border & Transportation Security (BTS-DHS), $181 million Department of Energy, $46.6 million National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA) $31.4 million
Issue—a growing disparity/gap between our budget and our appropriations It is not healthy to have such a difference: unpredictable for Districts hard to plan; especially with late appropriations note big disparity in GI—all studies coming from Appns [in FY08 GI, $267 approp vs $90 budgeted; almost entire difference was in study increases or adds.] Note gap is increasing as future budget ceilings (FY10-15) are being decreased.
CIVIL WORKS FIVE-YEAR DEVELOPMENT PLAN MESSAGES – The FYDP is based on the President’s budget and Office of Management and Budget guidance for the Civil Works program. It is not reflective of congressional authorizations and appropriations. The FYDP reflects funding targets for the Civil Works program that are in accordance with the projections shown in the Historical Tables for the President’s Fiscal Year 2008 budget. The projections and assumptions are formula driven, do not represent budget decisions or budget policy beyond FY 2008, and are intended to be “policy neutral.” The purpose of the FYDP is to present informed discussion and decision making on program funding, especially in FY 2006, by providing a portrait of how the Civil Works program would be carried out and the results it would achieve under a particular set of assumptions. The five-year development plan is performance based. It discusses how funding over the five-year period will produce results that contribute to achievement of the strategic goals in the Civil Works Strategic Plan.
