FILE- In this June 9, 2016 file photo, mangled bicycles are tagged as evidence at the Michigan State Police crime lab in Kalamazoo, Mich. The National Transportation Safety Board says better communication between police agencies might have prevented the deaths of five bicyclists last year in southwestern Michigan. A pickup truck plowed into cyclists on a rural road near Kalamazoo last June. The NTSB says 22 minutes passed between the first 911 call about an erratic driver and the crash. The board says Charles Pickett Jr. might have been stopped if dispatchers for three police agencies had shared more information. (Mark Bugnaski/Kalamazoo Gazette-MLive Media Group via AP)

FILE - In this Feb. 12, 2017, file photo, Bill Croyle, acting Director of the California Department of Water Resources, discusses the situation at the Oroville Dam as Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea listens at a news conference in Oroville, Calif. Over six straight days, the operators of the Oroville Dam had been saying there was no immediate danger after water surging down the main spillway gouged a hole the size of a football field in the concrete chute. But now suddenly they realized that the dam's emergency backup spillway — essentially an unpaved hillside — was falling apart, too, and could unleash a deadly torrent of water. Honea reacted by ordering the immediate evacuation of nearly 200,000 people downstream. (AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli, File)
