Sorry, but following this from PA means all my info is secondhand from the 'news' and FR.

However I did hear reported on KCRA a day or two ago re a hospital downstream that isn't evacuating, but has 'a plan in place' to use the upper floors.
(tho the obvious follow up question wasn't asked .. and I don't recall the hospital's location)

Given the multiple defects being found/reported re the dam, one is tempted to imagine that several downstream communities could be destined for ghost town status.

Barring massive repairs, the damned thing could hardly be considered a 'good neighbor' at this point.

All in all, truly FUBAR.

Villages of the Dam: Homes and businesses beneath California's Oroville Dam lie abandoned underwater - as it's revealed officials were warned about the crumbling structure TWELVE YEARS ago

As recently as last month, no money in the budget earmarked for dam repairs.
