Emergency Action Plans for Gallatin County High Hazard Dams now available
Emergency Action Plans for four high hazard dams that affect Gallatin County are now available on ReadyGallatin.com. A high hazard dam is one of 3 classifications that are used to categorize dams. A dam which is categorized as a high hazard dam is considered to have the potential to cause loss of life and serious infrastructure damage if it were to fail. A common misperception is that the term "high hazard" refers to the stability of the dam itself, which it does not. Emergency Action Plans, as well as inundation maps, are available for viewing on ReadyGallatin.com on our Plans Page.
