Abstract
The dam related disaster caused thousands of people's lives and billions of property damages in the world and in Malaysia. The loss of life and property damages is mostly happened due to dam failure and the lack of timely evacuation procedures. Currently, insufficient integrated and comprehensive research are being done�in Malaysia, including the impact of dam failures. The interconnection and interdependence of these elements are vital to ensure holistic solutions for dam safety. In this research, we proposed a resilient and intelligent dam safety management program that integrates engineering, cybersecurity and socioeconomic elements to minimize the risks of dam failure. A comparatively new approach named Risk-Informed Decision-Making is proposed in this research which will use the likelihood of loading, dam fragility, and consequences of failure to estimate the risk related to Batu Dam. Investigation of cyber security in dam data will be portrayed to assist in strengthening the security of dam control systems against sophisticated attacks such as APT. Finally, an effective evacuation procedure will be proposed to complete the holistic solution that benefits the nations, dam owners and other related authorities, but more importantly, it will help keep the community safe. � 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
