FLOODING INFORMATION
Floods are the most frequent natural hazard in Canada and the most dangerous in Ontario in terms of property damage, civil disruption and even death. Floods are typically caused by seasonal melting snow, ice jams, heavy spring rains and summer thunderstorms. Flash flooding is often caused by violent rain storms or breaking dams, and usually occurs with little or no advance warning. When you are building your family emergency plan review and discuss the safety tips related to flooding with your entire household to make sure everyone understands what to do.
Look under the other pages under Flooding Information to find tipsheets and links to other websites with information and tips for what to do in the event of flood.
Please find attached fact sheets that pertain to the flooding from the Renfrew County District Health Unit.
