Dam Safety Exercise
Representatives from the City of Anacortes took part in a multi-county, multi-agency drill exercise today that simulated the breach of two Skagit River dams.
The exercise was hosted by the Skagit County Department of Emergency Management and provided an opportunity for representatives from several agencies to respond to the simulated emergency scenario and test their communication systems in an effort to share emergency information in a timely fashion. Additionally, the exercise provided an opportunity to assure that the city is prepared for regional emergencies.
The exercise also allowed the dam owners, Seattle City Light and Puget Sound Energy, to comply with their federal operating licenses which require them to hold dam safety exercises at least once in five years.
