Today, May 31, is National Dam Safety Awareness Day.

Across the Southeast, USACE South Atlantic Division dams play a vital role in reducing flood risk, managing water resources, supporting navigation, generating hydropower and providing recreation opportunities for surrounding communities. National Dam Safety Awareness Day serves as an important reminder that while dams provide significant benefits, all infrastructure carries risk. Staying informed and practicing water safety near dams is crucial, especially in areas closest to spillways and structures where currents can be extremely dangerous.

USACE South Atlantic Division remains committed to maintaining safe and reliable infrastructure and supporting flood resilient communities across the region.
