 software used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. LifeSim is designed to simulate the entire warning and evacuation process for estimating potential life loss
 and direct economic damages resulting from floods. The following is a description of the major capabilities of LifeSim:
 
-- Graphical User Interface
-- Agent Based Modeling
-- Uncertainty
-- Graphics and Reporting
+- Agent-Based Modeling
+- Geographic Context
+- Modeled interactions between a dynamic flood hazard, buildings, and the evacuating population
+- Adherence to research on warning delays
+- Monte Carlo sampling of uncertainty
 
 The user interacts with LifeSim through a graphical user interface (GUI). The interface is designed to make it easy to use the software, while still
 maintaining a high level of efficiency for the user.
