Public affairs specialists produce photo stories at Shenango Riv
Frank Strumila, a public affairs specialist for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District, takes photos of park rangers at Shenango River Lake in Hermitage, Pennsylvania, Oct. 24, 2023. Public affairs specialists from across the Great Lakes and Ohio River Division came to the Pittsburgh District to train on their photography and multimedia skills during the first regional visual storytelling workshop hosted by the district’s public affairs office. Shenango River Lake is one of 16 flood-control projects operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District. The project mitigates flooding in the Shenango River Valley as well as the Beaver and upper Ohio rivers. Since its completion in 1965, Shenango Dam has prevented more than $252 million in flood damages. (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District photo by Michel Sauret)
