The Philadelphia Water Department is working with the Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Watershed Partnership to creatively communicate about area flooding. “About three years ago, we started a stakeholder task force in Germantown because we wanted to create a space for community leaders, business owners, and city agency representatives to talk about what residents are expecting from us, what mitigation strategies are appealing, and how we can disseminate information in an efficient way,” says Maura Jarvis, the assistant manager of the public engagement team for the Philadelphia Water Department.
