The DfT have provided information if this unlikely event occurs
This summary explains some of the main risks to transport in the unlikely event of a reservoir dam collapse, including sudden flooding and destruction of transport infrastructure. It also provides advice to help mitigate and plan for these risks.
Direct impacts from reservoir dam collapse include:
sudden, life-threatening flooding from a reservoir that can destroy transport infrastructure
power outages and disruption to communications infrastructure, affecting electric trains, signalling systems and emergency services
This forms part of the Transport hazards summaries series, which helps organisations understand hazards that can impact UK transport.
