The National Dam Safety Program (CFDA 97.041), administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), awarded a $148,806 project grant to the State of California Department of Water Resources (DWR) to improve dam safety across the state. The grant, awarded on September 16, 2024, with a completion date of September 15, 2025, will support DWR's efforts to conduct dam inspections, develop emergency action plans, provide technical assistance, and implement critical infrastructure improvements for high-hazard potential dams. These activities aim to reduce risks to life, property, and the environment from potential dam failures by enhancing engineering policies, increasing public awareness, and supporting state-level dam safety programs. The project grant demonstrates FEMA's substantial commitment to enhancing dam safety nationwide through state-level initiatives.
