Floods are amongst the most frequent and costly natural hazards in Canada, affecting thousands of communities each year (Public Safety Canada, 2024). The Canadian Institute for Climate Choices (2021) estimates that flood damage to homes and buildings alone could increase fivefold in the next few decades and tenfold by the end of the century, with costs as high as $13.6 billion annually. Climate change is exacerbating this problem, with rising sea levels and more intense rainfall leading to severe floods that cause widespread damage to homes and infrastructure. Floodwaters can overwhelm foundations, damage building materials, and lead to mold growth, making homes unsafe. Our flood hazard database offers a range of solutions to improve flood resilience, with step-by-step guidance on retrofits, drainage improvements, and best practices for protecting your property.
