    Summary

    FEMA's National Dam Safety Program (NDSP) is committed to protecting lives and property from the risks associated with dams. The Rehabilitation of High Hazard Potential Dams Grant Program (HHPD) makes available federal funds to eligible states for pass through to non-Federal governmental organizations or nonprofit organizations for the rehabilitation of dams that fail to meet minimum state dam safety standards and pose unacceptable risk to life and property. For the purposes of the HHPD Program, rehabilitation means the repair, replacement, reconstruction, or removal of a dam that is carried out to meet applicable state dam safety and security standards. The HHPD Program incentivizes eligible states to:

    • Provide financial assistance for repair, removal, or rehabilitation of eligible high hazard potential dams.
    • Incorporate risk-informed analysis and decision making into their dam safety practice and HHPD dam rehabilitation investments.
    • Incorporate risk-analysis results and information and consider all dam risk in state, local, tribal, and territorial mitigation planning.
    • Promote community preparedness by requiring recipients to develop and implement floodplain management plans that address potential measures, practices, and policies to reduce loss of life, injuries, damage to property and facilities, public expenditures, and other adverse effects of flooding.
    • Reduce costs associated with dam rehabilitation through the deployment of innovative
    • solutions and technologies.


    Given the requirements of this grant (e.g. National Flood Insurance Program participation, state, local, and tribal hazard mitigation plans, floodplain management plan, risk prioritization, state dam safety agency approval of the award), applicants must pursue this grant in coordination with the State Dam Safety Officer and the State Hazard Mitigation Officer, regardless of which entity will implement the grant. Contact information for the State Hazard Mitigation Officers (SHMOs) is provided on the FEMA website at http://www.fema.gov/state-hazard-mitigation-officers.


    For FY2021, the HHPD priorities are: the technical, planning, design, pre-construction activities related to the repair, removal, or rehabilitation of eligible high hazard dams.
