Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 20 MT 041 10 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 National Dam Safety Program (NDSP) - Region 10 is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through FEMA under CFDA 97.041. It is designed to strengthen dam safety efforts by reducing risks to people, property, and the environment associated with dam failures. The program is framed around FEMA's broader preparedness and catastrophic disaster readiness priorities, specifically aligning with FEMA Strategic Goal 1 (Build a Culture of Preparedness) and FEMA Strategic Goal 2 (Ready the Nation for Catastrophic Disasters). In practical terms, the grant supports state-level work that improves how dams are evaluated, managed, maintained, and secured, with an emphasis on preventing failures and improving readiness for dam-related incidents.
The core mission of NDSP is to guide public policy and encourage the use of industry best practices across the dam safety community. The opportunity highlights several major objectives. One objective is improving the safety of both new and existing dams by promoting the development and adoption of programs and procedures that are both technologically sound and economically feasible, with the broader goal of national dam safety hazard reduction. Another objective is encouraging consistent, acceptable engineering policies and procedures across the dam lifecycle, including dam site investigations, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and emergency preparedness. This reflects a focus not just on construction standards, but also on long-term oversight, inspection practices, and operational readiness.
A key program emphasis is building and sustaining effective state dam safety programs that are rooted in state standards, meaning states are encouraged to establish or enhance their own regulatory and operational frameworks while aligning with widely accepted safety approaches. The opportunity also underscores education and public awareness as an important element of dam risk reduction. It calls for developing and implementing comprehensive hazard education and outreach initiatives that help communities and stakeholders prepare for, mitigate, respond to, and recover from dam incidents. This can include public-facing communication, preparedness guidance, and coordination approaches that make dam risks better understood and more manageable before an emergency happens.
The grant also prioritizes technical assistance and knowledge-sharing. It seeks to develop mechanisms for providing federal technical assistance to non-federal dam safety practitioners, which can include state and local professionals and others responsible for dam safety activities outside the federal system. Related to this, the program calls for producing technical assistance materials, hosting seminars, and issuing guidelines that improve dam security across the United States. That security focus suggests attention not only to structural and operational reliability, but also to protective measures and practices that reduce vulnerabilities and strengthen resilience.
In terms of administrative details, this opportunity was created on May 13, 2020, with an original application closing date of June 15, 2020. Eligible applicants are limited to state governments, and the opportunity is specific to Region 10. FEMA anticipated making four awards. The listed award ceiling is shown as 0 in the source data, which typically indicates that the ceiling is either not specified in the public summary, varies based on formula or allocation, or is otherwise determined outside the simplified listing rather than representing a literal zero-dollar cap. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is labeled as "Other," indicating the work may span multiple types of activities (program development, training, guidance, technical assistance, and preparedness-related work) rather than fitting neatly into a single standard category.Apply for DHS 20 MT 041 10 01
