Vulnerability Assessment of Coastal Sites

Course No. C-6002

Credit: 6 PDH

Course Fee: $164.95 Purchase course

Subject Matter Expert: Jeffrey Havelin, P.E., BS CE

Overview

In coastal areas, proper siting and design require an accurate assessment of the vulnerability of any proposed structure or building site, including the nature and extent of coastal hazards. Failure to properly identify and design against coastal hazards can lead to severe consequences, causing building damage or destruction.

This course discusses the following topics:

  • Hazard identification and risk assessment for natural hazards that can affect coastal construction
  • Hazard mapping procedures used by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and by various states and communities

Additional details on hazard identification and risk assessment issues can be found in a number of references. One of the most comprehensive is a recent report, Multi-Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment, produced by FEMA (1997b).

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of thirty (30) questions at the end of this course to earn PDH credits.
