Allatoona Dam, also known as Allatoona Lake, is a federal-owned structure located in Bartow, Georgia, near the city of Rome. Completed in 1965 by CESAM, this Gravity type dam serves multiple purposes including flood risk reduction, hydroelectric power generation, recreation, and water supply. With a hydraulic height of 170 feet and a structural height of 188 feet, the dam spans 125 feet in length and has a storage capacity of over 670,000 acre-feet.

Managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers, Allatoona Dam is crucial for managing flood risks along the Etowah River. The dam's high hazard potential necessitates frequent inspections and a prepared Emergency Action Plan (EAP) to mitigate risks and ensure public safety. With a risk assessment rating of "Very High", the USACE implements various risk management measures, including regular monitoring, maintenance, and collaboration with local emergency managers to address potential dam-related emergencies and ensure the dam's structural integrity.

Despite the inherent risks associated with dam operations, the USACE remains committed to safeguarding Allatoona Dam and the surrounding community by implementing proactive strategies to manage flood risks and ensure the dam's functionality. As part of ongoing efforts to enhance risk management practices, more detailed information specific to Allatoona Dam will be provided in the future to further strengthen emergency preparedness and response capabilities in the region.
