This resource outlines FEMA's Collaborative Technical Assistance (CTA) Program for Planning for Dam Emergencies, focusing on the development and implementation of an Exercise Planning Toolkit for dam owners and operators. The toolkit provides guides, templates, and web-based tools to support the planning and execution of dam emergency exercises, including tabletop exercises and after-action reviews. It emphasizes stakeholder engagement, plan validation, and the integration of lessons learned into Emergency Action Plans (EAPs) and local Emergency Operation Plans (EOPs). The program aims to strengthen partnerships, improve risk communication, and enhance preparedness for dam-related emergencies.
