The Drumheller Resiliency and Flood Mitigation Office will hold three community engagement events, with both in-person and online events available, starting in mid-November.
In-person engagements will take place based on Alberta Health Services (AHS) COVID-19 guidelines and will require proof of double vaccination or a private negative COVID-19 test result within 72 hours, plus mandatory masking.
“Part of our municipal plan is a public education campaign to ensure our residents are informed,” says Flood Resiliency Project Director Deighen Blakely. “The Town Hall events encourage communication between the community and the Flood Mitigation Office, so residents have the chance to learn more about the upcoming projects and provide input to the design teams. It is also a great opportunity for residents to inquire about any questions or concerns they may have.”
The purpose of the Drumheller Resiliency and Flood Mitigation Office is to protect the people and property in Drumheller from loss due to flooding through a sensible model for a small community to adapt to the perils of changing climate. The project is a multi-hazard solution covering 100 kilometres of riverbank to reduce flooding and protect Drumheller into the 22nd Century.
