Operation Helios – 27th June 2024Â
Recently, Greater London Authority’s London Resilience Unit led an exercise to support London’s preparedness in the event of emergencies and coordinated a wide range of organisations during a response. ‘Operation Helios’ explores an extreme heat scenario of five days of heat that scientists warn could affect Londoners by 2027. It came as a four-day Yellow Heat Alert was issued by UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and the Met Office this week, with temperatures in the capital expected to soar to 30 degrees.
