FEMA’s Release of the Learning Content Management System (LCMS)
Seepage and Internal Erosion Courses
P-1032
The FEMA National Dam Safety Program worked with the Emergency
Management Institute (EMI) to develop three courses based on
FEMA P-1032, Evaluation of Monitoring of Seepage and Internal
Erosion. These new courses are intended to provide dam owners,
emergency response personnel and other stakeholders with the
knowledge and tools to identify seepage and internal erosion
within dams.

Course IS-0874, Introduction to Seepage and Internal Erosion and
the Emergency Response to Seepage Related Dam Risks, is the
first part of the three-part series. The course provides a basic
level introduction to the concepts and implications of seepage
and internal erosion and builds a foundation for private dam
owners, local, state, tribal and territorial officials to
understand seepage related dam risks.
The second course, IS-0875, Identifying, Monitoring, and
Addressing Seepage and Internal Erosion at Dams, provides a
basic level introduction to identify, monitor and address
seepage and internal erosion at dams.
The third course, IS-0876, Evaluation and Analysis of Internal
Erosion and Seepage Conditions at Dams, builds competency in the
investigation and analysis of seepage and internal erosion at
dams. It also builds a foundation for local emergency officials
and engineers on seepage conditions as they pertain to
risk-based systems.
The courses can be taken as an independent study or an
instructor led training course. It takes approximately four to
five hours to complete. Participants can answer practice
questions at the end of each course before taking each
individual course’s final exam. The courses do not grant a FEMA
Dam Safety certificate, but EMI does offer 0.5 Continuing
Education Units per course.
