USACE performs risk assessments on levees to evaluate and understand the flood risk and to determine the level of risk that the levees pose to surrounding areas. Risk assessments help to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in levee systems, assess the likelihood of levee failure during flood events, and estimate the potential consequences and impacts of such failures.Risk assessments enable USACE and stakeholders to proactively manage and address potential flood risks and guide decision makers in making informed choices about levee infrastructure and flood management strategies. The assessments also contribute to informed decision-making processes regarding levee accreditation for the National Flood Insurance Program, which ensures that the public is adequately protected and insured against flood damages.
