7 LANCASTER, Tenn. (April 15, 2019) – First responders participated in an exercise at Center Hill Dam last week to coordinate actions that would be necessary if they had to respond to a scenario where the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District could not operate the spillways during a high water event.
The tabletop exercise April 8 provided the opportunity for the first responders to address security and dam safety issues and to consider public safety concerns in a classroom environment. The setting made it possible to understand each agency’s capabilities and authorities, and to know the command and control structure ahead of an emergency.
