Local Community Resources
This page provides resources to help local communities better understand, plan for, and reduce flood risk. It supports one of the core goals of the Canadian-Upper Red Regional Flood Planning Group by increasing participation in floodplain management efforts and encouraging the adoption of consistent standards across municipalities and counties within Region 1.
Communities manage flood risk by identifying hazards, communicating risk to residents, and reducing exposure through planning, policy, and mitigation actions. The resources below support these efforts by providing access to flood mapping, modeling data, technical guidance, planning tools, and funding programs relevant to local decision-makers.
