Flood Waters - Mitigation measures for local government and homeowners

Community Matters with Brian Ostrander

In both 2017 and 2019 we experienced flooding on our shoreline resulting from rising lake levels. Some blamed climate change – some pointed to the International Joint Commission the group responsible for controlling the dam at the east end of Lake Ontario. Most of us said – it’s likely both – and are trying to figure out how best to deal with this if it happens again. We're joined by David Swan - Head of Risk Assessment with Hydra International and a member of both the Flood Mitigation Industry Association and the Association of State Floodplain Managers.
