Dam sirens
This dataset contains the geographical location of sirens installed on dams, designed to act as an alert system in the event of a dam or dike breach. The installation points have been determined based on acoustic dispersion models and an analysis of flood-prone areas with resident populations, aiming to optimize coverage and ensure immediate notification to the people living in these areas.

- Statement
- According to Article 3.5.1.5 of the Basic Directive on Civil Protection Planning in the Face of Flood Risk, and Article 5 of the Technical Safety Standards for dams and their reservoirs (NTS), the dam owner is legally obliged to develop, implement, maintain, and update the Dam Emergency Plan. Pursuant to this regulation, it is the dam owner who collects and provides the information on the location, technical specifications and condition of the sirens, ensuring a rapid and coordinated response in the event of a potential dam break.
