đź’§ National Dam Safety Awareness Day | May 31
This Sunday, we recognize National Dam Safety Awareness Day — a time to reflect on the importance of maintaining and monitoring the infrastructure that protects our communities.
Observed each year on May 31, this day commemorates the tragic 1889 South Fork Dam failure in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, which claimed more than 2,200 lives and remains the deadliest dam disaster in U.S. history.
Dam safety is a shared responsibility. Let’s work together to protect our communities and honor the lessons of the past.
