Operation Helios tests the readiness of emergency services and health organizations in responding to extreme heat and informing a new pan-London heat plan.
London faces risks from soaring temperatures affecting vulnerable populations like the elderly and those with breathing difficulties, followed by flash flooding.
The exercise involves over 80 participants from various sectors to ensure effective response to extreme heat events predicted to increase in the future.
