Create
New Model Parameters File
When you select the Create Model Parameters File command,
you will be prompted for a new model parameter file name. The
tool will create the new file and display the Edit Model Parameters
dialog. Since the model parameters file being edited is new,
all of the parameter definitions will be empty.
Edit
Model Parameters File
When you select the Edit Model Parameters File command,
the COAST tool will prompt you for the name of an existing model
parameters file (the default is the currently active file, if
there is one.) It will then display the Edit Model Parameters dialog
to allow you to edit the existing model parameter definitions.
Estimate
One-time Storm Damages
A one-time storm event provides an estimate of asset damages that
occur as a result of a single storm during a specified year.
The model will calculate the rise in sea-level for that year and add
the storm surge from a storm of the specified severity, and use the
resulting water-level rise to simulate a flood in the area
containing the assets. For assets that are flooded, asset
value and specified DDF will be used to calculate the damage.
The Estimate One-Time Storm Damages command displays the Estimate One-Time Storm
Damage window.
Estimate
Cumulative Storm Damages
The cumulative expected damages model estimates the total damages,
over time, to the assets involved in the scenario. An
adaptation can be applied to determine how much damages would be
reduced if that adaptation action were to be implemented.
The Estimate Cumulative Storm Damages command displays the Estimate Cumulative
Storm Damage window.
