Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 21 MT 041 08 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 National Dam Safety Program (NDSP) - Region 8 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: DHS 21 MT 041 08 01) is a discretionary grant offered through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), administered by FEMA under CFDA 97.041. It is designed specifically for state governments and supports the creation, strengthening, and ongoing operation of state dam safety programs. The central aim is to help states run effective programs that reduce dam-related hazards, protect people and property, and continually improve how dam safety is managed at the state level.
At its core, the program is meant to help states establish and maintain the policies, staffing, tools, and practices needed to oversee dams within their jurisdictions. That can include improving regulatory and inspection capacity, supporting technical evaluation and risk-informed decision-making, and strengthening program management so dam safety activities are consistent, documented, and sustainable over time. The opportunity is framed around ensuring states can carry out a comprehensive dam safety mission rather than funding a single narrow project.
The grant highlights three main objectives. First, it seeks to reduce risks to life and property associated with dams, which generally points to activities that improve a state program's ability to identify dam hazards, evaluate dam conditions, prioritize actions based on risk, and promote or enforce appropriate corrective measures. Second, it aims to increase public and stakeholder awareness of dam-related risks and the value of state dam safety programs, recognizing that outreach, communication, and coordination with dam owners, local communities, and emergency management partners are key parts of reducing real-world harm. Third, it is intended to advance the state of practice in dam safety and dam risk management, encouraging states to modernize approaches, adopt improved technical methods, and strengthen risk management practices that reflect evolving engineering knowledge and lessons learned.
This particular posting was created on May 17, 2021, with an original application closing date of June 18, 2021. FEMA anticipated making about six awards under this Region 8 opportunity. The listed award ceiling is shown as 0, which typically signals that a specific maximum amount was not provided in the summary fields and that applicants would need to rely on the full notice or related guidance for any limits, formulas, or allocation methods used for award sizing.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as capacity-building support for state-level dam safety oversight in FEMA Region 8, focused on reducing dam failure risk, improving public understanding of dam safety issues, and helping state programs keep pace with modern dam safety and risk management practices.Apply for DHS 21 MT 041 08 01
