Fairfield, Licking County To Hold Practice Evacuations Related To Buckeye Lake Dam

Fairfield and Licking County Emergency Management officials will hold a practice evacuation at Buckeye Lake on April 25 at the urging of Ohio Governor John Kasich. Volunteers from the counties' community emergency-response teams will play the roles of evacuees. Other interested residents are invited to participate. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently said the dam at the lake is in danger of catastrophic failure. Kasich has said the state will replace the dam.
