Preseason Flood Coordination Meetings for 2016
The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) has announced the schedule of Preseason Flood Coordination Meetings for 2016. These regional meetings provide the opportunity for partner agencies to review flood emergency procedures, protocol, roles, and responsibilities in an emergency, availability of flood fighting resources, flood threats and other flood concerns, and updates from local agencies in that particular region. In addition to DWR, partner agencies presenting information at each meeting include the National Weather Service, Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, CAL FIRE, California Conservation Corps, County Offices of Emergency Services, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Managers and key emergency responders from California public agencies with primary responsibility for flood emergency response and coordination are encouraged to participate in this important annual emergency preparedness activity in your area.
