Citizens Action

Be Prepared and Be Proactive

The Texas Dam Safety Program and the need to increase EAPs on High-Hazard and Significant-Hazard Potential dams can be impacted by the involvement and action of citizens. Most people enjoying a day on a lake, fishing or camping along a stream, or hunting in hill country never give a thought to how they would be notified or evacuated if an upland dam failed.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) offers some information and tips to keep in mind before heading out.
