Recent dam failures have made headlines, highlighting the poor condition of many of the nation's dams. Without funding, maintenance, inspection, upgrades, and emergency planning, the risks associated with dams increase. Know the risks. #DamSafetyDay

May 31-Dam Safety Awareness Day reminds us that dam failures can and do happen. As we see funding at the federal level redirected away from dam safety, decisionmakers must be made aware of the risks associated with dams. Learn more about #DamSafetyDay at DamSafety.org/NDSAD.

It's National Dam Safety Awareness Day—a reminder that dams in our communities should be properly inspected and maintained. We offer communities numerous resources and grant funding opportunities to support dam safety, helping to increase resilience before disaster strikes.

As we commemorate National Dam Safety Awareness Day, we ask all Californians to join us in our commitment to dam safety through the support of important investments in our water infrastructure that keep our system secure for future generations. #DamSafetyDay

Dams provide a life-sustaining resource but the lack of funding for dam upgrades is a serious problem. ASDSO estimates the total cost to rehabilitate the nation’s non-federal dams at $157.5 billion. Learn more about the importance of #DamSafetyDay at DamSafety.org/NDSAD.

May 31 is National Dam Safety Awareness Day. The following photo is wreckage after the flood in Johnstown, PA. The issue of dam safety was not widely recognized until 1889 when the failure of South Fork Dam claimed more than 2,200 lives. #DamSafetyDay

Avoid restricted areas near dams. Whether you're fishing, boating, or swimming, keep an eye out for warning signs and signals, and stay sharp for changing water currents. Make sure to have a safety plan before heading out on the water. wisconsinpublicservice.com/safety/dam #DamSafetyDay
