The mission of the Association of State Dam Safety Officials (ASDSO) is to improve the condition and safety of dams and lower the risk of dam failures through education, support for state dam safety programs, and fostering a unified dam safety community. In addition to the Dam Safety Toolbox website, other ASDSO online resources that support this mission include:

• ASDSO Awareness Center
• ASDSO Collaborate Professional Networking Platform
• ASDSO Training Center
• ASDSO Resource Center
• Lessons Learned from Dam Incidents and Failures website (DamFailures.org)

Other professional organizations and private corporations that support dam safety and provide additional technical guidance and documentation on the topic at cost include:

• United States Society on Dams
• International Commission on Large Dams
• American Society of Civil Engineers
• American Concrete Institute
• American Society for Testing and Materials

The following table summarizes additional resources that are referenced on this website. These documents are not as thoroughly vetted as those summarized on the Best Practices Resources page, but are still valuable resources for dam safety professionals. Examples include guidance documents and tools developed by state dam safety agencies, landmark technical papers, and academic research supporting the broad spectrum of dam safety topics.
