From Sacramento, CA station KCRA:
Some high hazard California dams are in poor condition
California is home to nearly 700 high hazard dams. A two-year investigation by the Associated Press found that 1,680 high hazard dams across the U.S. are in poor and unsatisfactory condition. Some are in California.
The article is published as a large infographic but basically, California had been spending very little on dam maintenance until Oroville. Now they are spending more money but no word as to whether this is going to have a positive outcome for dam safety.
