 CT DEP: Dam Emergency Operations Plan Guidelines
The principal purpose of the Emergency Operation Plan is the reduction of the potential hazard posed by a dam failure to downstream residents and property.
Emergency operation monitoring by a dam owner (or his designee) should commence when a "Flood Watch" alert is issued by the National Weather Service for a particular geographic area, or when heavy runoff conditions are experienced at the dam site.
To summarize, an adequate Emergency Operation Plan must have a pre-determined flood inundation map, a schedule of personnel assigned to monitor the dam and to implement emergency repairs as needed, and a workable warning/notification system for alerting local authorities in communities downstream of the dam.
