Life Safety Model (LSM)
Institution:
HR Wallingford is working with BC Hydro on the Life Safety Model (LSM), a dynamic model that can represent people's interactions with a flood.
The Life Safety Model (LSM) provides estimates of the number of people that are likely to be injured or killed as a result of a flood event, as well as the time that is required for them to evacuate the area at risk. It also allows the loss of life and evacuation times to be assessed for a range of types of flood events including slow rising floods, dam and flood defence failures, tsunamis and flash floods.
