Flooding Occurs In Areas Outside Of The Flood Plain Mapping!

Residents of Hadield, McKerlie, Kane, Latimer, Rosemead, Country Club, Amaletta, White Birch, Simcoe, Medland and Millcroft Park experience flooding even though they are not on the current flood plain map.

Conservation Halton has retained consulting and engineering company, Wood, to update the floodplain mapping and modelling. Advances in technology allows CH to better understand flood hazards and to develop more accurate floodplain mapping. One of Conservation Halton’s top priorities is to protect life and property from natural hazards and updating floodplain mapping is one of the ways that they do that.

Floodplain mapping is used by Conservation Halton and municipal partners to identify areas that may be susceptible to riverine or shoreline flooding, and to inform flood forecasting, emergency response, community planning, infrastructure upgrades and other flood prevention efforts. A floodplain is an area of land that is flooded by a nearby creek or lake during large storms.

Public Engagement

An important part of the process of updating floodplain mapping is to inform and engage with residents and other stakeholders in the study area.

Conservation Halton is asking for residents to email them their flood stories and photos by October 28, 2021.
