Description: An aerial view of the Wisconsin River Dam at Prairie du Sac, Wis., from an UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter June 11, 2008. The dam is one of several dams throughout southern Wisconsin given critical attention in the wake of record rainfalls and widespread flooding. Severe conditions throughout the state prompted Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle to declare a state of emergency, allowing the Adjutant General, U.S. Air Guard Brigadier General Don Dunbar to activate National Guard troops to assist in the relief effort.
