They've had trouble with this spillway over the years...and initially passing on concrete in favor of earth...well, sure...what could go wrong?

Rocks and sandbags to the rescue!  Seriously?

Not really a "natural" disaster,  sounds like a man made one.   Sounds like a typical neglected publicly owned property. 

This is why cutting basic maintenance (to "save" money) never ever works.   Because you always have to pay.  I bet those helicopters and such will cost far more then the money "saved" by not doing basic maintenance over the years. 

Government sucks at everything.

I don't know what would be worse...being stuck on that with a bunch of bangers and reconquista invaders...or when the big one hits?

Probably the former, the latter has the benefit of being over quicker.
