@josephmajesky2566, thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, USACE does not offer volunteer positions for levee inspection. However, we do have new job openings that routinely become available, including positions related to levee inspection and maintenance. To qualify for a levee inspector role, a college degree in engineering or a related field is generally beneficial. Engineering degrees provide the background to understand concepts like soil mechanics, hydrology, and structural analysis, which are key to understanding and evaluating levee systems. To explore current career opportunities in Northern California locations, please visit www.spk.usace.army.mil/Careers/. Here, you can find information about the qualifications, responsibilities, and application processes for various positions, including those related to levee management and inspection.
The Flood Risk Management System (FRMS) is a comprehensive approach adopted by many countries to manage flood risks. It involves a combination of strategies, policies, and practices aimed at reducing the impact of floods on people, property, and the environment. The FRMS typically consists of the following components: 1. Flood hazard assessment: This involves identifying areas that are prone to flooding based on factors such as topography, rainfall patterns, and river flow. 2. Flood risk assessment: This involves determining the likelihood and consequences of flood events in different areas. It takes into account factors such as population density, economic activity, and infrastructure vulnerability. 3. Flood risk management planning: This involves developing a long-term strategy for managing flood risks based on the results of the hazard and risk assessments. The plan should include measures to reduce flood hazards, improve resilience, and manage flood risks in a sustainable manner. 4. Flood warning and communication: This involves providing timely and accurate information to communities and authorities about impending flood events. It includes measures such as early warning systems, evacuation plans, and communication strategies. 5. Flood response and recovery: This involves implementing measures to respond to flood events in a timely and effective manner. It includes measures such as search and rescue operations, debris removal, and reconstruction efforts. The FRMS is an ongoing process that requires continuous monitoring, evaluation, and adaptation in response to changing circumstances. It is a collaborative effort involving various stakeholders such as government agencies, communities, NGOs, and private sector entities. The ultimate goal of the FRMS is to reduce the impact of floods on people's lives and livelihoods while promoting sustainable development., policies, and practices aimed at reducing the impact of floods on people, property, and the environment.

Thanks for the video a lot, it really helps me to have a picture on what database tables I should create for the demo. Im gonna do a monitoring tool for a College project based on this animation for a flood detection system, if things work well I will share it here!
So why did they take out all the tree at the H St. bridge? now there is no shade at the bench at all, are they put build a free standing awning over the bench?
Hi Kurt - That section of the river is at risk for significant erosion that could weaken the levees which help protect the city from flooding. We have to remove all the trees and plants so we can build an extra layer of rock protection that will be covered in more sustainable native vegetation in the future. You can learn more about the Lower American River Erosion project here www.spk.usace.army.mil/Missions/Civil-Works/Sacramento-Levee-Upgrades/American-River-Levees/
Can anybody speak in regards to the toxic blue/green algae problems that the lake & other areas experiencing those conditions. Will the algae issues be minimal now?
👍💪🙏😇❤🕊🌹 Love this will be awesome once it's done to see it from the sky flying over it. Sincerely Jacqueline Trimm Syme Hamblen Morrison family bloodline.
Build Sites, but it is not enough! Do this also: There is 11 times more water in The Columbia River. IT is easy to move 1 or 2 "Colorado Rivers", down to Red Bluff. No pumps are needed! CA`s water problem are fixed forever!!!
We could be in trouble this spring and summer. I wouldn't want the job of maintaining snow runoff this year. Wishing the best for those in control of the snow runoff.
That’s very nice how but building more Dams on the north part off California to prevent all that water going to sea this way California will have pleanty of water?
Yes, we have historic photos of dam construction here: www.spk.usace.army.mil/Media/Images/?igsearch=dam%20site&igtag=dam%20site www.spk.usace.army.mil/Portals/12/documents/civil_works/Isabella/cultural_resources/210819_Isabella_cultural_resources_pub-final.pdf (see page 2, 50-54)
Sadly the moron politicians should have been building new reservoirs and shoring up any reservoirs that needed work on their infrastructures during the extended drought but they were too dumb to do anything but waste tax dollars

@@larsfridtjofnrheim1638 there are many fixes, you are correct but the lack of movement toward solving the water problem while building a high speed rail is ridiculous. They are not even looking at the biggest resource and building adequate de-salinization plants
@@rstats2127 Argee. The world`s slowest, most expensive fast train, will maybe cost 27 times more than a water tunnel (whit needed infrastructure), from The Columbia River to Red Bluff....
