Water Seminar: Inundation mapping for California State Water Project dams and critical appurtenant structures

College of Engineering and Computer Science Inundation maps showing flooding that could result from a hypothetical failure (breach) of the dam and its related critical appurtenant structures are an important part of emergency planning and response. In 2017, California Senate Bill 92 added Sections 6160 and 6161 to the California Water Code, requiring owners of state jurisdictional dams, except those classified as “low hazard” by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD), to prepare inundation maps. Dam owners are required to submit inundation maps to DSOD for approval. Once approved by DSOD, these maps are to be incorporated into emergency action plans (EAPs). The EAPs must, in turn, be submitted to the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES). This presentation describes how DWR develops these regulatory inundation maps for State Water Project (SWP) dams and critical appurtenant structures. Cost: Free. Event Type: Anchor University.

ChatGPT for Administrative Efficiency: Building Reusable Workflows That Reduce Rework

Learning & Development Facilitated by Chris Tauchman, CSU Chico All employees invited to participate! This session explores how CSU staff can move beyond one-off AI use and begin applying ChatGPT through simple, repeatable workflows that reduce rework and improve consistency across everyday tasks. Designed for participants who have already experimented with ChatGPT, the workshop focuses on how to structure interactions so context, intent, and quality carry forward instead of starting from scratch each time. Participants will see how to turn rough inputs into decision-ready outputs, reuse effective prompts across similar tasks, and refine results without increasing effort. Rather than focusing on individual tasks, the session emphasizes workflow thinking, including preparing inputs, guiding outputs, and improving results through iteration, while maintaining human judgment and responsibility. The session includes demonstration and guided discussion. No pre-work is required. Meeting ID: 891 0614 9181 Passcode: 490167. Event Type: Training. Workshop. Professional Development.
