National Dam Safety Program is sponsored by Department of Homeland Security. Both the National Dam Safety Program (NDSP) state assistance grant and the Rehabilitation of High Hazard Potential Dams (HHPD) grant programs improve the safety of dams in the United States and strive to achieve the key objective of “ dam safety and dam risk reduction”. Both grant programs implement the Department of Homeland Security and Presidential Preparedness Directive (PPD)-8 objective of hazard mitigation, to develop and maintain those capabilities necessary to reduce the loss of lives and property by lessening the impact of the failure of dams.
NDSP State Assistance Grant Program (NDSP-SA): The NDSP-SA accomplishes this objective by supporting state and U.S. territory governments in the establishment and maintenance of effective State programs intended to ensure dam safety, protect human life and property, and increase the capacity and capability of State dam safety programs.
High Hazard Potential Dam (HHPD) Grant Program: The HHPD grant program accomplishes this objective by providing funding to state and U.S. territory governments for the rehabilitation of eligible high hazard potential dams that fail to meet minimum state dam safety standards and pose unacceptable risk to life and property. This listing is currently active. Program number: 97.041. Last updated on 2023-09-07.
