Registration open for CDA workshop on Emergency Management

CDA is holding a workshop on emergency management for dams Feb. 24-25, 2015 in Ottawa.

The workshop will identify the existing resources for emergency preparedness and management that might be applicable to dams; discuss how communities prepare for and respond to emergencies and how dam managers might work with them; and consider what the dam community needs for the future.

The overall goal is to set the framework for potential CDA products (technical bulletins, training, etc.) that would help the dam community prepare for, respond to and recover from an emergency.

The workshop will be of benefit to dam owners, managers and regulators; emergency preparedness specialists; representatives from all three levels of government; and academics focusing on emergency preparedness and response.

Please note that the deadline date for hotel accommodation at the CDA rate is Jan. 24, 2015. After that, there is no guarantee that delegates will be able to access accommodation in the hotel.
