What will the Corps do during a high water event (levee)?
On a levee built by the Corps, we deploy a team of engineers and specialists to monitor the project and provide the local levee owner with technical advice and support. When requested, we perform “levee patrols,” in which Corps engineers walk the length of the project with the levee owner to monitor its performance. If the project requires immediate repairs during the event, the Corps is able to provide technical assistance to the customer so they can make necessary repairs and take necessary actions to protect the safety of the community.
