water and State Avenue could flood<br />

disrupting traffic and businesses’ in<br />

<strong>the</strong> area. A potential vehicle accident<br />

(or o<strong>the</strong>r type of accident) caused by<br />

<strong>the</strong> dam breaching could even result<br />

in personal injury or death.<br />

Develop / Review / Update<br />

Emergency Action Plans (EAPs) for<br />

High & Significant Hazard Dams in<br />

Wyandotte County. Should one of<br />

<strong>the</strong>se dams be breached or<br />

overtopped during extremely<br />

heavy rainfall, <strong>the</strong> area below and<br />

downstream of <strong>the</strong> dam would flood,<br />

potentially causing loss of life and/or<br />

extensive property damage, along<br />

with <strong>the</strong> disruption of traffic and<br />

businesses in <strong>the</strong> area. An EOP with<br />

well-developed emergency<br />

notification procedures and<br />

regularly updated contact numbers<br />

for persons living or owning property<br />

below <strong>the</strong>se dams is paramount to<br />

<strong>the</strong> safety of all.<br />

Public Education—Encourage <strong>the</strong><br />

use of grounded outlets and surge<br />

protectors in homes and businesses.<br />

Improperly grounded electrical<br />

outlets and equipment may result in<br />

fires, equipment damage, personal<br />

injuries and potential loss of life.<br />

Equipment unprotected from power<br />

surges may be damaged, destroyed<br />

or can result in fires which could also<br />

result in <strong>the</strong> loss of life. Provide<br />

public education talks, seminars,<br />

meetings with various groups,<br />

planning sessions, training,<br />

exercises, etc. Provide information<br />

thru websites; cell phones;<br />

newspapers, <strong>the</strong>atres, billboards,<br />
