It’s National Dam Safety Awareness Day-531 Anniversary of Johnstown Dam Failure - Dams can be useful but if they fail, catastrophic flooding often results. To further promote resilience, we are working in DCR with the Governor to ensure that regulated dams are safe. @Dam_Safety
Excited to have @VirginiaDCR’s floodplain managers and dam safety engineers presenting at @fema’s Collaborative Technical Assitance program for Albemarle County - where many high hazard dams are located in the Commonwealth!
