To encourage the damage prevention
industry to take advantage of this critical moment in damage prevention, CGA's
2022 DIRT Report takes a streamlined, forward-looking approach aimed at providing
stakeholders with actionable data and recommendations. As in past years, the 2022 Interactive Dashboard
and Report are based on voluntarily and confidentially submitted data from
facility operators, contractors, 811 centers, and state and federal agencies.
Readers are encouraged to explore newly published 2022 data as well as annual
data back to 2020 on the Interactive
Dashboard.
While much of what DIRT reveals has been consistent over
recent years, this 2022 Report is focused on strategic views of damage data
that can illuminate pathways to our goal of reducing damages by 50% over the
next five years. For glossary
terms, an appendix describing regression and trend analysis models, and other supplemental information

With the stakes higher than ever in damage prevention, our
2022 Report offers clarity and direction to drive progress.
