SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Saint Francis Dam 
Disaster National Memorial Act’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) On March 12, 1928, the Saint Francis Dam 
located in the northern portion of Los Angeles Coun-
ty, California, breached, resulting in a devastating 
flood that caused the death of approximately 425 in-
dividuals. 
(2) The residents of Santa Clarita Valley, San 
Francisquito Canyon, Castaic Junction, Santa Clara 
River Valley, Piru, Fillmore, Bardsdale, Saticoy, and 
Santa Paula were directly impacted and suffered 
greatly from the worst flood in the history of the 
State of California. 
(3) The disaster resulted in a tremendous loss 
of human life, property, and the livelihood of local 
residents, and was surpassed in the level of destruc-
tion in the 20th century only by the great San Fran-
cisco earthquake of 1906. 
(4) The collapse of the dam may represent 
America’s worst civil engineering failure in the 20th 
century.
