Training

Lead by West Consultants, this hands-on seminar and computer workshop provides practical training in sediment transport modeling. We will cover the algorithms HEC-RAS uses to compute sediment transport, selecting a transport function, computing transport capacity, the quasi-unsteady flow assumption, bed mixing algorithms, bed change options, and other fundamental computations. The course will also discuss avoiding...

FEMA Certified Description: Resilient communities are better able to plan for and take action to mitigate the risks from hazards, increase the pace of recovery from destructive events, and adapt to changing environments. This course demonstrates how to integrate risk and community-based collaborative strategies into plans and programs and introduces tools that help communities assess...

Description: This course is designed to familiarize the participants with the elements of pre-disaster planning needed to prepare for substantial damage operations. Substantial damage applies to a structure in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) – or 1-percent-annual-chance floodplain – for which the total cost of repairs is 50 percent or more of the structure’s...

HEC RAS 2D Modeling Course - FLYER Course Description WEST Consultant’s hands-on seminar and computer workshop provides practical training in two-dimensional modeling using HEC-RAS. Participants gain intensive experience constructing two-dimensional HEC-RAS models from scratch. This hands-on experience also highlights methods in which the one-dimensional components of HEC-RAS can be connected to two-dimensional meshes. Lectures on...

This one-day workshop will focus on Letters of Map Amendment (LOMA) and Letters of Map Revisions (LOMR); which are routine Flood Insurance Rate Map changes using the MT-1 and MT-2 forms. The workshop will explain what information is necessary to successfully submit a LOMA or LOMR and what the general process looks like. Click link below for more...

This half-day workshop will focus on completing and reviewing elevation certificates, which provide elevation information necessary to ensure compliance with community floodplain ordinances; to determine the proper insurance premium rate; and to support a request for a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) to remove a building from a Special Flood Hazard Area.
