It lacks an emergency action plan (EAP) and updated contact information for emergency purposes.

The dam's spillway type is marked as uncontrolled, with a maximum discharge capacity of 1572 cubic feet per second.
Lake Christine Part II Dam serves as a vital recreational spot in Mississippi, offering opportunities for water enthusiasts to engage in various activities. However, with its current risk assessment and lack of updated safety measures, there is a need for increased attention and regular inspections to ensure the dam's continued safety and functionality for the surrounding community and environment.
