The risk management measures, emergency action plan, and inundation maps for this dam are currently not available, indicating a potential area of improvement in terms of safety and preparedness.
Overall, Oknoname 031018 serves as an important infrastructure for water resource management in the area, despite its high risk classification. Continued monitoring and potential updates to its emergency preparedness measures could enhance the safety and resilience of this dam in the face of climate change and evolving environmental conditions.
