Description

This report presents the findings of a study to analyse the response of the River Forecast Centre to the widespread flooding in June 2013. River Forecast Centre partners and clients were consulted in order to gain a better understanding of what occurred in each community affected by the flooding, how affected groups and stakeholders responded, and what these groups have learned. The report is meant as a guiding document to be used by the River Forecast Centre to develop an internal action plan, and as a tool for engaging and influencing their partners and stakeholders on broader issues that could involve change in policies, governmental structure, and inter-departmental and inter-governmental agreements.
