It’s been 10 years since the 2013 floods damaged homes, businesses and critical infrastructure, forced the evacuation of more than 100,000 Albertans and, tragically, took the lives of five people. This event changed the way we prepare for severe weather events and made flood resiliency a much higher priority. Flood protection work and improvements to storm and drainage infrastructure, as well as bridge and riverbank stability, have eliminated the flood damage risk in Calgary by 55%. | YourAlbert

Significant work has been done since the 2013 floods to improve flood resilience in @TownofCanmore. This includes the Cougar Creek Debris Flood Retention structure that will help protect Canmore from future flooding. | YourAlberta (Government of Alberta)
