       Dam failures occur every year in this country. Dams may fail on
       first filling, after a heavy storm, during maintenance efforts,
       or suddenly after 100 years of “safe” operation. In an event
       that may stress your dam (hurricane, heavy rain, earthquake,
       etc.), an effective and up-to-date Emergency Action Plan (EAP)
       is a critical tool for high and significant hazard dam owners,
       dam safety officials, and emergency response personnel.

       Emergency Action Plan Template
       The Dam Safety Division has modified the national "Model
       Emergency Action Plan" which was the outcome of a multi-agency
       work group initiated in 2004 by the USDA Natural Resources
       Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Association of State Dam
       Safety Officials (ASDSO). The Maryland-specific template
       documents are available at the following hyperlinks in Microsoft
       Word format. Note that the former individual templates for High
       or Significant Hazard dams have been combined into a single
       document that applies to both hazard classes.

       helpful tips for EAP generation, review and updates is available
       in the following document:
