A GIS-Enabled Approach for Assessing Damage Potential of Levee Systems Based on Underlying Geology and River Morphology

(a) Map of the United States counties that contain levees [8] and (b) National Seismic Hazard Map across the United States showing the levels of horizontal shaking that have a 2-in-100 chance of being exceeded in a 50-year period. Shaking is expressed as a percentage of , the acceleration of a falling object due to gravity [9].
