Case Study: U.S. State Dam Safety Program cuts downstream hazard assessment from weeks to hours with Rezatec

U.S. State Dam Safety Program cuts downstream hazard assessment from weeks to hours with Rezatec

A U.S. state dam safety program faced the challenge of its manual downstream hazard assessments being unable to keep pace with rapid development. Their process of updating dam hazard classifications and emergency action plan (EAP) address lists was resource-intensive, taking weeks per county and leading to outdated, incomplete data. They partnered with Rezatec to implement an automated geospatial workflow to screen its large dam portfolio.

Rezatec's solution automated the process of identifying buildings, addresses, and roads within dam inundation zones. The results were transformative, reducing analysis time from weeks to hours. This provided the state with accurate, repeatable, and exportable data, ensuring hazard classifications and EAPs were current and significantly improving emergency preparedness.
