Prioritizing work on levees is often necessary, particularly when resources are limited. To make informed levee management decisions, as well as plan for future investments, it is important to understand costs associated with a levee activity. This video provides an overview for how to use the Levee Cost Estimating tool. The Levee Cost Estimating tool aims to help users with this understanding by providing high-level ranges of costs (e.g., Class 4 or 5) for common levee-related construction, operation and maintenance, and floodfight activities.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE) Equal Employment Opportunity program fosters a culture of dignity and respect by ensuring a workplace free from discrimination, harassment and bias. This commitment is even more important in an emergency response deployment environment, where stress and long hours can challenge workplace norms.
