| description:
|
In December 2008 the City of Muscatine requested USACE assistance in planning for flooding of the Mississippi River if the levee was breached south of the city limits. The City of Muscatine has many businesses and industries in this area of the community and any breach would result in the flood waters backing into the city from the south. Collaboration between Muscatine Island stakeholders and USACE began in order to address managing residual risk associated with the levee protecting the area. The study was not initiated because of any known imminent risk of failure to the levee protecting Muscatine Island but instead as an effort to improve emergency planning and communication of the potential risks associated with the levee. While the City of Muscatine is protected by a FEMA accredited flood protection project, breach scenarios afford the opportunity to explore failure scenarios to inform emergency management planning, including evaluation of evacuation routes and information for evacuation planning and will serve as a readiness measure to reduce future life and safety risks involved with flood events. |
