Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 22 MT 041 01 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 National Dam Safety Program (NDSP) - Region 1 is a FEMA grant opportunity under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen dam safety nationwide by reducing the risk of dam failures that could threaten lives, property, and the environment. The program emphasizes improving how dam safety decisions are made and carried out by promoting consistent public policy, sharing proven practices across the dam safety community, and supporting stronger planning and preparedness. It also aligns with FEMA's 2022-2026 Strategic Plan under Goal 2 (Lead Whole Community in Climate Resilience), specifically Objective 2.3, which focuses on empowering risk-informed decision making. In practical terms, the funding is intended to help state dam safety programs better identify hazards, manage risk, and improve readiness for potential incidents, including those influenced by changing climate conditions and more extreme weather.
The core objectives of the NDSP are broad but focused on building safer systems and more capable state programs. The program aims to ensure both new and existing dams are safe by supporting the development of procedures and programs that are realistic from both a technical and cost standpoint, rather than relying on approaches that are ideal on paper but difficult to implement. It promotes sound engineering policies and standard practices across the full lifecycle of a dam, including site investigations, design, construction, operations, routine maintenance, and emergency preparedness. Another key purpose is encouraging every state to establish and run an effective dam safety program built around state standards, which helps create consistency in oversight while still allowing states to tailor programs to local conditions and dam inventories.
A major emphasis is also placed on public-facing readiness and communication. The opportunity highlights the importance of education and public awareness related to dam hazards, with the goal of helping communities prepare for, reduce impacts from, respond to, and recover from dam-related incidents. Alongside education, the program supports creating and improving mechanisms for federal technical assistance so that non-federal dam safety practitioners (for example, state programs, local entities, and other responsible parties outside the federal government) can access expertise, tools, and guidance. Finally, the NDSP includes a security component, aiming to develop technical assistance materials, seminars, and guidelines that improve security for dams across the United States, reflecting concerns not only about natural hazards but also potential intentional threats.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant program with funding provided through the grant instrument type. The opportunity number is DHS 22 MT 041 01 01, and the CFDA listing is 97.041. Eligibility is limited to state governments, which means the intended applicants are state-level agencies or entities responsible for dam safety oversight. The posting lists an expected six awards for Region 1. The opportunity was created on May 16, 2022, with an original application deadline of July 15, 2022. The listed award ceiling is shown as 0, which typically indicates the ceiling amount was not specified in the source listing or may be determined through allocation formulas or separate guidance rather than a fixed published cap.
Overall, this grant opportunity is meant to improve the safety, oversight, preparedness, and security of dams by strengthening state dam safety programs, advancing consistent engineering and operational standards, expanding technical support and training, and boosting public awareness and incident readiness. The bigger picture is reducing the likelihood and consequences of dam failure through better risk management and coordinated, modernized dam safety practices.Apply for DHS 22 MT 041 01 01
