The significant hazard potential of Cattinari Lake Dam raises concerns about its safety and the lack of regular inspections or assessments. With no emergency action plan in place, the dam poses a potential risk to surrounding areas in the event of a breach or failure. The absence of information on maintenance or risk management measures further highlights the need for proper oversight and monitoring of this recreational structure. Given its location and potential impact, stakeholders and authorities may need to reassess the safety and maintenance of Cattinari Lake Dam to ensure the protection of both the environment and the community.
