DETAILS:            Monte Carlo sampling can be used to develop flood inundation probabilities and structure-based risk assessments informing insurance rates, mitigation efforts, and emergency preparedness. This process accounts for uncertainty in precipitation amounts and patterns, structure type and elevation, and levee integrity by creating hundreds to thousands of 2D hydraulic models with differing assumptions. One objective is to open the “black box” of statistics and demonstrate that this process, though rooted in randomness, is indeed traceable and reproducible.

BIO:                   Reuben Cozmyer has worked for AECOM for 8 years and is the Engineering Manager in the Kansas City office. He is a licensed PE and CFM and received his BS and MS in Civil Engineering from the University of Kansas.
