June 7, 2024 – A group of energy, utility and construction industry leaders announced on May 30 the launch of a new nonprofit advocacy organization aiming to address public safety issues underscored by the increase of federal investment in our nation's infrastructure.

The organization, called the Damage Prevention Action Center, will research and advance public policies and industry practices that it believes will maintain the integrity of America’s complex network of underground infrastructure.
