Dam Safety Toolbox Policies and Procedures Guide

---

Policies for the Dam Safety Toolbox are set by the Association of State Dam Safety Officials (ASDSO) to guide the development of a living resource to promote dam safety. For this reason, the Dam Safety Toolbox policies help to inform users of the website of the procedures and guidelines associated with creating, editing, and moderating content to ensure the highest level of content quality possible. Policies for the Dam Safety Toolbox are subject to revision by ASDSO.

Guidelines for the Dam Safety Toolbox are generally-accepted practices for the creation of website content which also adhere to any applicable policies. Guidelines help users creating new content to maintain a uniform style and feel to the website from page to page. Ultimately, guidelines for the Dam Safety Toolbox are to be implemented into website content using reason and common sense; being applied whenever reasonably possible, but also allowing for modifications when deemed necessary. Ultimately, the moderation process will determine whether or not any deviation from a guideline is warranted, or whether an update to the guideline in question is required. As with policies, guidelines for the Dam Safety Toolbox are also subject to revision by ASDSO.
