The HEC-FIA model successor to HEC-PBA, estimates damages and loss of life resulting from flood events. The model inputs geospatial datasets of agriculture fields and building structures, and assigns each structure a dollar value and a population. Using geospatial flood depth grids in concert with depth-damage discharge tables for buildings and depth, time and damage tables for agriculture, HEC-FIA can estimate potential direct and indirect economic losses, agricultural losses, and loss of life for each flood hazard. HEC-FIA can also be applied to estimate direct and indirect economic losses, including the effects on the economy, and the loss of life from dam or levee failure scenarios.
Key features of the HEC-FIA model include the ability to estimate loss of life and damages to agriculture and structures, and the ability to display flooded areas.
