Both the National Dam Safety Program (NDSP) state assistance grant and the Rehabilitation of High Hazard Potential Dams (HHPD) grant programs improve the safety of dams in the United States and strive to achieve the key objective of “ dam safety and dam risk reduction”. Both grant programs implement the Department of Homeland Security and Presidential Preparedness Directive (PPD)-8 objective of hazard mitigation, to develop and maintain those capabilities necessary to reduce the loss of lives and property by lessening the impact of the failure of dams. NDSP State Assistance Grant Program (NDSP-SA): The NDSP-SA accomplishes this objective by supporting state and U.S. territory governments in the establishment and maintenance of effective State programs intended to ensure dam safety, protect human life and property, and increase the capacity and capability of State dam safety programs. High Hazard Potential Dam (HHPD) Grant Program: The HHPD grant program accomplishes this objective by providing funding to state and U.S. territory governments for the rehabilitation of eligible high hazard potential dams that fail to meet minimum state dam safety standards and pose unacceptable risk to life and property.

National Dam Safety Program (NDSP) state assistance grant: • Completion of dam inspections performed including High Hazard Potential dams. • State delivery of dam safety training to governmental entities and private dam owners. • Professional development for state Dam Safety officials – attendance at annual technical seminars and conferences.
Rehabilitation of High Hazard Potential Dams (HHPD) grant: • The completion of detailed risk assessment of eligible high hazard potential dams to better understand the potential failure consequences as well as the probabilities associated with each potential failure mode. • The completion of H&H analysis and engineering design for a high hazard dam to reconstruct or rehabilitate the service and emergency spillways. • The completion of alternatives analyzes for dam rehabilitation to meet state H&H requirements including three rehabilitation alternatives with conceptual design and probable cost.
