Spring flooding – be prepared!

Spring flooding – be prepared! The City urges residents who live in flood-prone areas to be prepared in the event of flooding. While Cataraqui Conservation does not expect widespread flooding at this time, the City reminds residents that every neighbourhood is at risk of basement flooding, even if it’s never happened before. “Flooding is one of the costliest natural hazards in Ontario. Don’t wait until it happens. If you live near water or in a low-lying area, it’s important to have a plan in place. Spring is a wet season. Prepare yourselves and your property now,” says Brandi Timpson, Emergency Preparedness Manager.
