Hurricane Paths Considered in the Risk Analysis
• 3 HSDRRS Geometries § Pre-Katrina § Current (1 June 07) § 100-year LOP (~2011)
• 152 storms § 25 yr to 5,000+ yr
• 350+ features § Floodwalls § Levees § Pumps Stations
→ 62,928 Hurricane Hydrographs
BUILDING STRONG®
HSDRRS Hydraulic Design Criteria
§ 100-yr still water plus waves – 90% confidence of non-exceedence
§ Wave overtopping not greater than 0.1 cubic feet per second per foot
§ 500-yr still water – 50% confidence of non-exceedence
§ Floodwalls and structures constructed for 2057 conditions
