Flood Evacuation Modelling in Reducing the Potential Loss of Life from Catastrophic Flooding Due to Dam Failure: The Approach of Life Safety Model (LSM)

The Life Safety Model (LSM) is an agent-based model used to estimate the loss of life in catastrophic flooding. By using the agent-based model concept, LSM is able to integrate the 2D hydraulic model with the agents, leading to the �fate� of the agents. The results from the LSM simulation can be use...
