摘要：	A collaborative team of government and industry professionals helps prepare for ice and high water in the Pittsburgh, Pa., region before it happens.Known as the Ice Hydro Committee, its members are dedicated to making sure those involved with the river industry in any way know the best information about potentially hazardous conditions before they form.John Dilla, chief of the Locks and Dams Branch for the Pittsburgh District of the Corps of Engineers, said the team has been around at least a decade, although it now uses newer technology, such as Microsoft Teams videoconferencing software and digital monitoring systems.The U.S. Coast Guards Marine Safety Unit Pittsburgh leads the meetings with input from the Pittsburgh Corps of Engineers, the Waterways Association of Pittsburgh, the National Weather Service and other navigational partners. Beginning in November or December, the team begins meeting once every other week, but their schedule varies along with the weather. Sometimes, Dilla said, it's several times a week or even daily."We are reacting to Mother Nature, so we do what we have to do for that," Dilla said.
