UTRCA Presents to City of London’s Community Emergency Management Program Committee

On April 20, Eleanor Heagy, Upper Thames River Conservation Authority (UTRCA) Communications and Marketing Coordinator, gave a presentation to the City of London Community Emergency Management Program Committee at the City’s Emergency Operations Centre. The presentation was an overview of Conservation Authorities and the UTRCA, flooding on the Thames River, and the UTRCA’s flood forecasting, warning, and response program.

Eleanor was invited to speak to the committee after first giving this presentation to the Policy Group during the City’s annual mandatory training exercise in November 2022. The scenario for the training exercise was flooding of the Thames River, so several UTRCA staff helped plan a realistic scenario and/or participated in the exercise itself. Thank you to Henry Klausnitzer, Manager, Emergency Operations Centre, for this opportunity.
