Flood Hazard Identification Program

Overview

Flood studies include engineering reports and maps. Studies are considered draft until formal finalization is completed. The standard finalization process includes staged local authority review and public engagement components.

When a flood study is completed, draft reports and maps are provided to impacted local authorities, including towns, cities, counties, municipal districts and Indigenous communities. Once a local authority completes its technical review and issues brought forward are addressed, public engagement proceeds. This engagement gives the public an opportunity to provide feedback on the draft reports and maps before finalization.

New and ongoing work

The studies listed below are either underway or in various stages of local authority review or public engagement. Progress updates for each study are provided, as well as links to public engagement opportunities for studies in that stage of the finalization process.
