Grants and Contributions:
These projects will produce flood modeling and mapping for many regions, and will produce a new digital elevation model, coastal inundation models for sea level rise and tsunamis, and related inundation mapping including water level, depth and velocities for a high populated area with extensive built assets at risk. These projects will also provide a comprehensive, up-to-date, searchable and geo-referenced database of flood hazards (including debris-flow and debris-flood) and their background (such as incident reports, mitigation designs, etc.) throughout CSRD to support a risk based decision making framework for land use planning, and will identify gaps in flood risk knowledge and a related action plan.
The NDMP addresses rising flood risks and costs, and builds the foundation for informed mitigation investments that could reduce, or even negate, the effects of flood events. The NDMP fills a critical gap in Canada's ability to effectively mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from, flood-related events by building a body of knowledge on flood risks in Canada, and investing in foundational flood mitigation activities.
