Hawaii Dam Break Analysis Follow-On Actions
On March 14, 2006, during a severe storm event that impacted the Island of Kauai, the privately owned Kaloko Reservoir failed causing a flash flood that killed seven persons, blocked a major highway and destroyed at least two homes. As a result of this disaster, and to assure public safety, U.S. Senator Daniel K. Inouye secured $2 million in the FY 06 Emergency Supplemental Appropriation Act (Public Law 109-234) for the creation of the Hawai'i Water Systems Technical Studies Program, Dam Break Analyses to help the State of Hawai'i Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) Dam Safety Office conduct dam break studies for eleven selected dams. The State of Hawaii DLNR will use the findings from the dam-break studies to work with dam owners, managers and emergency management organizations and conduct follow on actions. These actions include assessing hazard risk potentials, preparing and updating emergency action plans (EAPs), and continuing to develop emergency preparedness for such disaster scenarios.
