Flood study engagements

We review feedback on draft reports and flood maps.

Overview

We gather feedback from Albertans on draft reports and flood maps used to support emergency response and help build more resilient communities.

Flood maps identify where water will flow during a flood, and what land could be flooded during different sized floods. Most flood maps focus on floods caused by high river flows when water escapes the river channel, most often experienced in spring or following summer rainstorms, but they can also show areas at risk from ice jam floods or document the extent of historic floods.
