Abstract: Public safety and site security are not mutually exclusive. A joint approach to evaluating both concerns maximizes the return on your investment. Solutions to address security can be used to address public safety; common solutions used in public safety enhance overall security as well. Steps and information needed to assess risks to public safety and security are also similar. Solutions to address both issues emphasize the need to provide public warnings, limiting public access to features at the dam that create dangerous conditions or are critical to the dam's mission, and effectively monitoring unauthorized activity.
We present concepts in conducting dam assessments addressing both site security and public safety. We present an approach for conducting a common site assessment to simultaneously evaluate security and public safety at dams. Additionally, we present examples of mitigating strategies used to minimize risks associated with injury, death, property damage, and related litigation.
