The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Vicksburg District's Emergency Operations Center (EOC) has been activated due to potential breach conditions at Arkabutla Dam in Mississippi. The district will lower the pool to reduce breach potential and initiate safe emergency repairs.

The USACE Vicksburg District is working with the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) and surrounding counties and cities as the situation develops.
