be able to alleviate flooding problems during a 100-ye3f storm.

G-278 Benefit-Cost Analysis: Entry-Level Training
~
This is a 2-day course designed as an introduction to the fundamental concepts of benefit cost (BC)
analysis. Participants will learn how to obtain BC data and conduct analysis using the basic versions of
the riverine and coastal A-zone software modules. This course was not designed to teach how to
conduct level-two BC analysis unless supplemented with user instructions on current FEMA BCA
software and advanced instruction modules; even when delivery is in this manner, students must
come to class equipped with laptops and the current software installed. A Benefit Cost Analysis (BCA)
is a requirement for mostly all the Hazard Mitigation Programs (HMA) with some exceptions as
Planning Projects or 5% Initiative Projects. For every project from the Hazard Mitigation Grant
Program (HMGP), Pre Disaster Mitigation (PDM), Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA), Repetitive Flood
Claims Program (RFC) and the Severe Repetitive Loss Program (SRL) a Benefit Cost Analysis needs to
be done in order to attempt to measure the social benefits of a proposed project demonstrating its
cost effectiveness, the evaluation shall generate a benefit-cost analysis ratio and a total of benefits in
US Dollars, to indicate the reduction in losses in future events once the project is completed. This BCA
is performed utilizing software built and provided by FEMA. The new Benefit Cost Analysis version
4.5.5 was approved in 2009 with several differences compare to older versions. For all participants it
is recommended to have a computer available with the installed software. NOTE: This course
description was updated 08/30/2011 by FDEM, Training and Exercise Unit.
The primary target audiences for this course are FDEM State Hazard Mitigation personnel and select
County officials who deal directly with the mitigation process. Other personnel involved in conducting
BC analysis may also apply (County EM Directors must approve of these personnel attending)
Participants should have some prior knowledge of mathematics (basic algebra and percentages) and
computers (Windows and spreadsheet programs).
,-...
Familiarity with basic flood mitigation terminology is suggested.
