Abstract/Additional Information
The National Dam Safety Program (NDSP) aims to prevent dam failures and reduce the impacts on lives and property that would be impacted by a dam failure. Led by FEMA, the program is a partnership of states, territories, federal agencies, and other stakeholders that encourage and promote the establishment and maintenance of effective federal and state and territorial dam safety programs to reduce the risk to human life, property and the environment from dam related hazards. The program educates the public, dam owners and assists decision makers using multiple databases, tools, and other materials.
