On June 5, 1976, the Teton Dam failed, sending billions of gallons of water racing through the valley below.
In a matter of hours, lives changed forever.
For many in Southeast Idaho, this image is more than a photograph. It is a moment frozen in time. A reminder of loss, uncertainty, and the strength that followed.
As we approach the 50th anniversary of the Teton Dam Flood, we remember those who lived through it, those who helped rebuild, and the legacy they left behind.
And we remember that some moments shape a community in more ways than one.
Flood 50 begins tomorrow, June 1.
Remember | Connect | Serve
The recovery began immediately.
Schools, churches, community centers, and gathering places became shelters. Neighbors checked on neighbors. Volunteers served meals. Strangers shared space, supplies, and support.
When people remember the Teton Dam Flood, they don't forget the devastation.
But what they hold on to is the hope that was built by a community led by kindness.
Fifty years later, we recognize the 80 billion gallons of water that roared through the region, but we honor the people who lifted each other in a time of need.
Flood 50 begins June 1.

Others are remembered because they changed people.
Flood 50’s Celebration of Service honors the volunteers, neighbors, first responders, churches, students, and communities who came together in the aftermath of the Teton Dam Flood to help rebuild Southeast Idaho.
Join us next Saturday evening, June 6th, at BYU-Idaho’s I-Center as we recognize the spirit of service that carried this community forward long after the waters receded.
