The resource discusses planning for dam emergencies as part of hazard mitigation plans and floodplain management planning. It emphasizes the importance of considering dam risks such as dam breaches, incremental risks attributed to dams, non-breach incidents downstream, and residual risks even after rehabilitation has been completed. The document also covers how participants can develop mitigation plans, understand the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, and identify dam risk in hazard mitigation planning.
