Why?
i guess you have not been watching the news in California lately...About 188,000 residents near Oroville, Calif., were ordered to evacuate Sunday after a hole in an emergency spillway in the Oroville Dam threatened to flood the surrounding area. Thousands clogged highways leading out of the area headed south, north and west, and arteries major and minor remained jammed as midnight approached on the West Coast
I used to have faith in the infrastructure of the USA, but as of late, no so much.
if a reservoir fails and you are down stream, even if you get evacuated....you'll loose everything...

You don't have to be in a flood plain to love levees.

Reservoirs are usually dammed streams.

When the levee breaks I'll have no place to stay.

Uh, what? Reservoirs are pretty great for walking and exercise, tend to have less traffic. It's a plus for me.
Reservoirs are typically below ground level. I probably wouldn't want my house next to an old levee or dam where an engineered wall is holding back the force of water. That's a different beast.
