Flood Hazard Mapping
November 1, 2019
We would like to provide an update on the status of the Pincher Creek Flood Hazard Study.
Steady progress has been made since the study started in spring 2019. Survey and base data collection is complete and the hydrology assessment work is in late stages. The main focus of our consultant over the next months will be building the hydraulic model, which will form the basis of all flood mapping products. Technical work is expected to be complete by spring 2020.
We recognize there will be tremendous interest in any new flood mapping. Our study finalization
process includes municipal review and public engagement for major components, as appropriate. Our
goal is to provide useful tools to communities and the public as soon as possible.
The flood hazard study will be completed under the provincial Flood Hazard Identification Program, the
goals of which include enhancement of public safety and reduction of future flood damages through the
identification of river and flood hazards. The provincial study is being co-funded through the federal
National Disaster Mitigation Program.
