       Police your Property

       There has been a considerable increase in people reporting
       problems on the embankments backing to their property, according
       to reports from the NYPA, especially since the hammering of
       sheet sheets into the Oxbow Embankment Dam has alerted neighbors
       to the fact that the dam is potentially dangerous.
       If your property does back onto a dam or you live under ones
       shadow, then you can be your first line of defense against a
       breach or a problem.
       Bearing in mind that few, if any inspections, have been done in
       the past 75 years, and it is very difficult to traverse these
       slopes because of the overgrown state, but close and regular
       scrutiny is critical.
       Here is a diagram of many of the problems a Canal Watch Walker
       is likely to encounter.

       If you think you spot a problem, please phone the  NYPA
       immediately and report it. If you can discover the GPS position
       on a Smartphone, so much the better.
       Mark the area with a flag or ribbon, but please don't do
       anything yourself. Get the experts in to look at the problem
