National Dam Safety State Assistance Program

From US Department of Homeland Security

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) National Dam Safety Program is a federal initiative dedicated to reducing the risks associated with dam infrastructure failures caused by natural hazards, aging, or human-made threats. The program provides grant funding to states, specifically supporting state regulatory enhancements and the physical rehabilitation, repair, or removal of high-hazard potential dams. Additionally, it facilitates national risk mitigation by establishing safety guidelines, maintaining the National Inventory of Dams, and hosting training programs to share expertise between federal and state sectors.
