"Panguitch Lake Dam: Evacuation Prep as Water Pours Out and Officials Outline Plan"

A 60ft crack in the Panguitch Lake dam in Utah has prompted emergency measures to prevent potential flooding, with residents being advised to prepare for evacuation. While officials don't believe the dam is on the brink of failure, they are taking precautions and have distributed evacuation procedures to residents. Efforts to lower the reservoir and reinforce the dam are underway, and emergency shelters have been designated in case of evacuation. The crack, discovered during an inspection, has led to the release of water and the placement of rocks to support the dam.
