The YourAlberta (Government of Alberta) is asking County residents for input on their Grande Prairie Flood Study. Residents are invited to complete a survey by July 8 at https://www.alberta.ca/grande-prairie-flood-study-engagement
The study will help identify flood hazards along 58 km of Bear Creek through the County and City of Grande Prairie.

New flood mapping studies launched this spring will produce about 260 kilometres of new or updated flood mapping for 10 communities. This is on top of the nearly 600 kilometres of flood mapping that was already underway across the province.

Flood mapping helps communities understand where it’s safe to farm, safe to build and how to best prepare for emergency situations.

View flood maps for any community in the province online through Alberta’s Flood Awareness Map Application.
