Is the dam in your city or town safe?
The Associated Press reviewed federal and state data and found 1,688 highly hazardous damn rated poor or unsatisfactory in 44 states and Puerto Rico. Since some states did not provide data on their dams, that number is likely low.
Search dams in your state or community to find out if they are a potential risk.
