- Michigan Dam Failures Cause Mass Evacuation Two dams in Midland County, Michigan, catastrophically failed following heavy rainfall, prompting Governor Gretchen Whitmer to declare a state of emergency.

The event occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, adding complexity to evacuation and emergency response efforts.
