Description
Join us on Tuesday, September 9 from 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Eastern for Getting Ahead of the Storm: Building Capacity to Respond to Large-Scale Weather-Related Dam Impacts. This webinar will discuss the lessons and expertise gained from rebuilding a state dam safety program from state dam safety program officials and emergency managers almost 10 years after a historic rainfall event that had impacts statewide and caused the failure of 50 state-regulated dams.
Key Takeaways attendees will receive from this webinar:
- Available tools to assist state dam safety program officials leading up to, during, and after an extreme precipitation event.

- Get your house in order first.
- Foster supporting relationships - internal and external.
