A Resolution recognizing the month of April 2024 as "Low Head Dam Public Safety Awareness Month" in Pennsylvania.

This resolution officially designates April 2024 as "Low Head Dam Public Safety Awareness Month" in Pennsylvania to highlight the dangers posed by these structures. Low head dams are barriers built across rivers that create powerful, often lethal currents, earning them the nickname "drowning machines." The bill aims to encourage public awareness and education about these hazards during the spring recreation season to help prevent accidents. It does not authorize funding or mandate specific safety actions, but rather serves as a symbolic gesture to remind residents of the risks associated with waterways.
