The bill H.778 relates to dam safety and includes amendments to the State of Vermont Emergency Operations Planning Pilot Project. Specifically, in Section 2, subdivision (b)(1), the language has been modified to enhance clarity regarding the potential impact of dam failures. The phrase "inundated" has been replaced with "affected," which aims to better describe the communities that would be impacted in the event of a dam failure.

This amendment reflects a shift in focus from merely being inundated to a broader understanding of how communities may be affected by such incidents. The changes made in the bill are intended to improve emergency planning and response efforts related to dam safety in Vermont.
