National Dam Safety Awareness Day!!!!
Sunday, May 31, was National Dam Safety Awareness Day. This day commemorates the tragic 1889 South Fork Dam failure in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, which claimed more than 2,200 lives.
The observance serves as a reminder of the importance of dam safety and our shared responsibility to respect warning signs, stay clear of restricted areas, and remain aware of the powerful forces of water. Dam safety awareness isn’t just for one day—it’s important every day.
