Book excerpt: Residents of areas that could be affected by a dam failure or operational incident have a risk of loss of life, injuries, and damage to property from a failure or operational incident. The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines for the preparation of an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) to facilitate the development of plans that are comprehensive and consistent. The purpose of an EAP is to protect lives and reduce property damage. The intended readers of this document are dam owners and emergency management authorities who work together in the response to dam safety emergencies. An EAP is a formal document that identifies potential emergency conditions at a dam and specifies actions to be followed to minimize loss of life and property damage. The EAP includes: Actions the dam owner will take to moderate or alleviate a problem at the dam; Actions the dam owner will take, and in coordination with emergency management authorities, to respond to incidents or emergencies related to the dam; Procedures dam owners will follow to issue early warning and notification messages to responsible downstream emergency management authorities; Inundation maps to help dam owners and emergency management authorities identify critical infrastructure and population-at-risk sites that may require protective measures, warning, and evacuation planning; Delineation of the responsibilities of all those involved in managing an incident or emergency and how the responsibilities should be coordinated. In 2010, the National Dam Safety Review Board's Work Group on Emergency Action Planning for Dams established a Task Group to review the 2004 edition of FEMA 64 and to make recommendations for updating the guidelines. This document, the 2013 edition of FEMA 64, is an update of the 2004 edition. The updates include the addition of approaches and practices that are consistent with the National Response Framework and with emergency action planning concepts from a variety of contemporary sources. The updates reflect the consensus of the Task Group and have been approved by the ICODS and the National Dam Safety Review Board. The goal of the updated guidelines is to encourage (1) the development of comprehensive and consistent emergency action planning to protect lives and reduce property damage and (2) the participation of emergency management authorities and dam owners in emergency action planning.

This book was released on 2013-03-11 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 1977, President Carter issued a memorandum directing the review of federal dam safety activities by an ad hoc panel of recognized experts. In June 1979, the ad hoc interagency committee on dam safety (ICODS) issued its report, which contained the first guidelines for federal agency dam owners. The Federal Guidelines for Dam Safety (Guidelines) encourage strict safety standards in the practices and procedures employed by federal agencies or required of dam owners regulated by the federal agencies. The Guidelines address management practices and procedures but do not attempt to establish technical standards. They provide the most complete and authoritative statement available of the desired management practices for promoting dam safety and the welfare of the public. To supplement the Guidelines, ICODS prepared and approved federal guidelines in the areas of emergency action planning; earthquake analysis and design of dams; and selecting and accommodating inflow design floods for dams. These publications, based on the most current knowledge and experience available, provided authoritative statements on the state of the art for three important technical areas involving dam safety. In 1994, the ICODS Subcommittee to Review/Update the Federal Guidelines began an update to these guidelines to meet new dam safety challenges and to ensure consistency across agencies and users. In addition, the ICODS Subcommittee on Federal/Non-Federal Dam Safety Coordination developed a new guideline, Hazard Potential Classification System for Dams. With the passage of the National Dam Safety Program Act of 1996, Public Law 104-303, ICODS and its Subcommittees were reorganized to reflect the objectives and requirements of Public Law 104-303. In 1998, the newly convened Guidelines Development Subcommittee completed work on the update of all of the following guidelines: Federal Guidelines for Dam Safety: Emergency Action Planning for Dam Owners; Federal Guidelines for Dam Safety: Hazard Potential Classification System for Dams; Federal Guidelines for Dam Safety: Earthquake Analyses and Design of Dams; Federal Guidelines for Dam Safety: Selecting and Accommodating Inflow Design Floods for Dams; Federal Guidelines for Dam Safety: Glossary of Terms. The publication of these guidelines marks the final step in the review and update process. In recognition of the continuing need to enhance dam safety through coordination and information exchange among federal and state agencies, the Guidelines Development Subcommittee will be responsible for maintaining these documents and establishing additional guidelines that will help achieve the objectives of the National Dam Safety Program.

In 1998, the newly convened Guidelines Development Subcommittee completed work on the update of the following guidelines: Federal Guidelines for Dam Safety: Emergency Action Planning for Dam Owners, FEMA 64, October 1998, reprinted April 2004; Federal Guidelines for Dam Safety: Selecting and Accommodating Inflow Design Floods for Dams, FEMA 94, October 1998, reprinted April 2004; Federal Guidelines for Dam Safety: Hazard Potential Classification Systems for Dams, FEMA 333, October 1998, reprinted April 2004. With the amendment of the Act into the National Dam Safety and Security Act of 2002, Public Law 107-310, former ICODS Subcommittees were reorganized under the National Dam Safety Review Board (NDSRB). In 2004, two task groups finalized the ongoing work of the previous Subcommittee on the update of the following guidelines: Federal Guidelines for Dam Safety: Glossary of Terms, FEMA 148, printed April 2004; Federal Guidelines for Dam Safety: Earthquake Analyses and Design of Dams, FEMA 65, printed May 2005. The publication of these guidelines marks the final step in the review and update process. In recognition of the continuing need to enhance dam safety through coordination and information exchange amongst federal and state agencies, the NDSRB will assume responsibility for maintaining these documents and establishing additional guidelines that will help achieve the objectives of the National Dam Safety Program. The NDSRB has established a task group and work is currently underway to prepare an update to the ground motions portion of this document with new research and methodologies.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: President Carter directed each of the Federal agencies responsible for dam safety to implement the new Federal Guidelines for Dam Safety on October 4, 1979. He also directed the major agency heads to report their progress toward implementing the Guidelines to the FEMA Director by January 31, 1980. This report summarizes and transmits these agency progress reports and two overall progress evaluation reports--one by a Federal Task Subcommittee of the Interagency Committee on Dam Safety and the other by a FEMA-sponsored independent consulting Panel. The reports show that agencies have made major progress in the areas of organizational management, operation and maintenance, periodic inspection, initiating emergency action planning, staff training, external reviews, interagency coordination, and initiating actions to correct major dam deficiencies. Problems remain in agency personnel staffing and funding for dam safety, correcting deficiencies in Federally-built or -assisted private dams, regulating mine tailings dams, implementing emergency action plans at hazardous dams, and performing systematic remedial work at deficient dams. Detailed information and insight about agency progress, remaining problems, and recommendations directed to FEMA and the other agencies for improving Federal dam safety procedures are contained in the three attached documents.
