The Association of State Dam Safety Officials is encouraging those involved in the dam industry to remember the lessons learned from past dam failures, push for strong dam safety programs and advocate for investment in America's critical infrastructure on National Dam Safety Awareness day.
The day commemorates the South Fork Dam failure that occurred in 1889, in Johnstown, PA. The issue of dam safety was not widely recognized when the failure claimed more than 2200 lives.
