+# Preface
+
+The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Life Loss Estimation (LifeSim) software allows you to evaluate the life loss and economic damages 
+resulting from a single flood scenario.  
+
+The LifeSim software is developed at RMC, which is a division of the USACE Institute for Water Resources (IWR). The first version of LifeSim (Version 1.0) was 
+released in 2017. This Technical Reference Manual was tailored for Version 2.0 of the LifeSim software.
+
+Woodrow Fields leads the LifeSim development team. Stephanie Owen and Brennan Beam provided review and support throughout the development of this
+manual in 2020. Jason Needham and William Lehman contributed significantly to all versions of LifeSim. Lea Adams was the Chief of the Water Resources Systems Division, 
+and Chris Dunn was the director during the development of Version 2.0 of the
+software.
+
+This Technical Reference Manual was originally prepared for the USACE Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) by HDR Engineering, Inc. Additional
+information can be found in the <Link to="/docs/desktop-applications/lifesim/users-guide/v1.0/welcome-to-lifesim">LifeSim User's Guide</Link>. LifeSim manuals 
+are available on this RMC Software Documentation website and 
+the <a href="https://www.rmc.usace.army.mil/Software/LifeSim/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">RMC website</a>.

+# Executive Summary
+
+Welcome to the Risk Management Center's LifeSim Technical Reference Manual. The main purpose of the LifeSim software is to help study teams better
+understand the consequences of a flood event.
+
+LifeSim is a spatially-distributed, dynamic simulation modeling system for estimating potential life loss and economic damages from flood hazards. A
+hazard is a natural or man-made event that threatens to overwhelm and injure life and/or property, e.g., a flood, toxic plume, or wildfire. LifeSim
+explicitly models the warning and mobilization of people potentially exposed to the hazard and predicts the spatial distribution of fatalities within
+buildings and on road networks expected to be impacted by the hazard. Although LifeSim was developed for dam and levee safety analyses, the software
+is not limited to breach flood hazards (RMC, 2021) <Citation citationKey="RMC2021"/>. The key component of LifeSim's methodology is that 
+the magnitude of life loss depends on whether
+people evacuate successfully and whether those who fail to evacuate can find adequate 
+shelter (Aboelata, Bowles, and McClelland, 2003) <Citation citationKey="AboelataBowlesMcClelland2003"/>.
+
+LifeSim is built around a database. Each component exchanges data with other components throughout the database, which includes various GIS layers and
+tables. Default relationships and values are provided for many inputs. LifeSim's methodology reflects its early authors' understanding of the factors
+affecting life loss. Simply put, LifeSim determines people and assets that would be subject to a certain flood, how people evacuate or seek shelter,
+and estimates damages and fatalities for those people and assets caught by the flood.
+
+This technical reference manual describes the methods, internal algorithms, and computations that LifeSim uses to calculate fatalities and damages
+resulting from floods or other hazards, and to display the spatial distribution of those consequences. A strong understanding of these internal
+processes will increase the user's ability to identify model limitations, provide suitable inputs, communicate the importance of results, and help
+validate decisions that LifeSim supports.
