Emergency Plans For Dam Disasters Sought
Senator Ray Jones of Pikeville has filed a resolution requiring emergency plans be in place to warn people downstream if there is a break in any of nearly 400 dams across the state of Kentucky.
The dams presently have little or no system in place for warnings. Officials say out of more than 1000 state inspected dams in the Commonwealth, 395 are high to moderate hazard dams.
