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.
