Shane Hubbard presented on the following topic: Hazus-MH spatiotemporal analysis of the Lake Delhi, IA dam breach. Abstract: As the Maquoketa River was reaching a historic crest upstream of the Lake Delhi, IA dam on July 24th, 2010 > 3 inches of rain fell over the area. This same area had set record crests 2 years earlier in 2008. As a result of this flooding, one of the gates on the dam was damaged and had not been fixed by the record crest in 2010. These factors combined to create a total dam failure in July 2010. Delaware County Emergency Management, Delaware County GIS, and the University of Iowa pulled together local data to produce a Level 2 Hazus-MH run to examine the damages and losses from the flood event.
