Owner Resilience Solutions Consulting Temple Hills, Maryland
Learning Objectives:
What factors should determine whether communities evacuate or shelter in place during a dam emergency?
How much time do we realistically have to move people to safety, and what challenges might slow evacuation efforts?
How can we ensure vulnerable populations — such as those without vehicles, people with access and functional needs, or visitors unfamiliar with the area — are protected during a dam incident?
What communication methods are most effective for quickly reaching residents, travelers, and recreational users during a no-notice dam incident?
If shelter-in-place is directed instead of evacuation, what should individuals and families expect in terms of guidance, safety, and support?
