One of the activities authorized by the Dam Safety and Security Act of 2002 is research to enhance the Nation's ability to assure that adequate dam safety programs and practices are in place throughout the United States. The Act of 2002 states that the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in cooperation with the National Dam Safety Review Board (Review Board), shall carry out a program of technical and archival research to develop and support: improved techniques, historical experience, and equipment for rapid and effective dam construction, rehabilitation, and inspection; devices for continued monitoring of the safety of dams; development and maintenance of information resources systems needed to support managing the safety of dams; and initiatives to guide the formulation of effective policy and advance improvements in dam safety engineering, security, and management. With the funding authorized by the Congress, the goal of the Review Board and the Dam Safety Research Work Group (Work Group) is to encourage research in those areas expected to make significant contributions to improving the safety and security of dams throughout the United States. The Work Group (formerly the Research Subcommittee of the Interagency Committee on Dam Safety) met initially in February 1998. To identify and prioritize research needs, the Subcommittee sponsored a workshop on Research Needs in Dam Safety in Washington D.C. in April 1999. Representatives of state and federal agencies, academia, and private industry attended the workshop. Seventeen broad area topics related to the research needs of the dam safety community were identified. To more fully develop the research needs identified, the Research Subcommittee subsequently sponsored a series of nine workshops. Each workshop addressed a broad research topic (listed below) identified in the initial workshop. Experts attending the workshops included international representatives as well as representatives of state, federal, and private organizations within the United States. Impacts of Plants and Animals on Earthen Dams; Risk Assessment for Dams; Spillway Gates; Seepage through Embankment Dams; Embankment Dam Failure Analysis; Hydrologic Issues for Dams; Dam Spillways; Seismic Issues for Dams; Dam Outlet Works. Based on the research workshops, research topics have been proposed and pursued. Several topics have progressed to products of use to the dam safety community, such as technical manuals and guidelines. For future research, it is the goal of the Work Group to expand dam safety research to other institutions and professionals performing research in this field. The proceedings from the research workshops present a comprehensive and detailed discussion and analysis of the research topics addressed by the experts participating in the workshops. The participants at all of the research workshops are to be commended for their diligent and highly professional efforts on behalf of the National Dam Safety Program. The National Dam Safety Program research needs workshop on Hydrologic Issues for Dams was held on November 14-15, 2001, in Davis, California. The Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency, would like to acknowledge the contributions of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Hydrologic Engineering Center, which was responsible for the development of the technical program, coordination of the workshop, and development of these workshop proceedings. A complete list of workshop facilitators, presenters, and participants is included in the proceedings.

This document provides a straightforward, realistic, and executable Strategic Plan for the National Dam Safety Program (NDSP) based on the most efficient and effective uses of NDSP resources to reduce losses from dam failures in the United States. The goals, objectives, strategies, and priorities will serve as formal guidelines for all NDSP efforts. FEMA developed this Strategic Plan in coordination with the NDSP's two advisory boards: the National Dam Safety Review Board and the Interagency Committee on Dam Safety. The continued success of the NDSP hinges on the linked roles of the Federal, State, and private partners, all of which have independent responsibilities related to dam safety. These partnerships are predicated on a common vision and shared mission, which serve as the basis of Program direction and planning. The Plan presents the goals and objectives established by FEMA and its partners in the NDSP to reduce the hazards from dam failures in the United States. To achieve the goals and objectives, the Plan identifies the following supporting activities in the program areas funded under the Dam Safety Act of 2006: State assistance; research; training; and data collection, tracking, and analysis using the National Inventory of Dams (NID). This Plan provides a straightforward strategy for meeting Program goals and objectives. Successful execution of this Plan will involve refining existing policies, being responsiveness to legislative requirements, and aligning with FEMA initiatives and priorities for all of its programs. The pace of accomplishing the goals and objectives and the strategic priorities discussed above will depend on the resources available to the Program during FY 2012 through 2016. The Program will keep members and stakeholders abreast of advancements in science and technology, and adjust short- and long-term objectives and developmental efforts accordingly. The NDSP and its partners will remain focused on the elements of this Strategic Plan, but will adapt to contingencies and opportunities that may arise. If a dam failure occurs in the United States during the Plan period, the NDSP will initiate efforts to study the effects of that failure, including successes, failures, and unforeseen problems that arose in mitigation, emergency management, response, and recovery practices and policies.
