HEC-FIA may be used in HEC-RTS to predict the consequences associated with conditions predicted with HEC-HMS, HEC-ResSim, and HEC-RAS. This section briefly describes the HEC-FIA reports accessible from the CAVI. For more detail about the reports, please see the HEC-FIA users manual.

Individual Structure Damage Report

The Individual Structure Damage Report (Figure 1) provides information by individual structure, this information includes structure, content, car, other, total damage for each structure, depth of flooding, population at risk (day and night), percent not mobilized, percent caught evacuating, percent clear, and loss of life (day and night) information is also available for each structure. If your alternative is set to run a deterministic computation, this will display a single deterministic answer. However, if your HEC-FIA model alternative is set to run a Monte Carlo computation, this report will display the average for all iterations.

ECAM Reports

The ECAM Report is dependent on the HEC-FIA model alterative being setup to compute life loss and ECAM. For the example HEC-RTS watershed being used in this User's Manual, the HEC-FIA model alternative (Real-Time) is not setup for an ECAM compute, therefore no results.

To view ECAM reports:

The ECAM Indirect Economics Output Report provides information about the output of the economy, by sector (e.g., forestry, food processing, general manufacturing, etc.) for a selected county (County list). When the Employment tab is selected, the ECAM Indirect Economics Employment Report displays. The ECAM Indirect Economics Employment Report provides information representing the changes in labor employed by sector (e.g., forestry, food processing, general manufacturing, etc.) for a selected county (County list).
  3. To close either ECAM report, click Close, and the ECAM report will close. For further details on this HEC-FIA report, refer to the HEC-FIA User's Manual.

Impact Response By Rule Report

The Impact Response By Rule Report is dependent on the HEC-FIA model alterative having an impact response element defined. This report displays the hydrograph at the location of the rule, and the threshold elevation relative to the hydrograph. The Impact Response By Rule Report displays each rule independently.

Flood Damage Reduction Reports

The flood damage reduction reports are dependent on the HEC-FIA model alterative being setup with the necessary hydraulic data and holdout inundation configuration. For the example HEC-RTS watershed being used in this User's Manual, the HEC-FIA model alternative (Real-Time) is not setup properly for generating flood damage reduction reports.

To view flood damage reduction reports:
