Alberta is no stranger to floods. Today it’s important for anyone living, or considering living, near water to know about floods and their relationship to homes and properties. Within a designated flood hazard zone the potential for flooding is real and significantly higher than other areas.
Despite flooding, there are many reasons people choose to continue to live in flood hazard zones. In fact, civilizations have long settled along rivers because of the many benefits they can offer.
