Flood Forecasting and Warning

Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority operates a Flood Forecasting and Warning System, which involves the collection and analysis of water level, flow, and precipitation data through our Hydrometric Monitoring Network, and the monitoring of weather conditions in order to assess the risk of flooding.

 Flood Messages

Short and long-range weather forecasts from the Surface Water Monitoring Centre, Environment and Climate Change Canada, and other sources are reviewed daily to monitor local conditions and track major weather systems across the watershed.

When flooding is possible or about to occur, SVCA issues flood messages to municipalities, media, first responders, neighbouring conservation authorities, ministries, and other groups as requested. These agencies are then responsible for relaying the message to relevant individuals and departments, and activating municipal emergency response procedures, which includes taking actions to warn residents.

For more information on our Flood Forecasting and Warning System, please contact the Flood Forecasting and Warning Coordinator. 

Flood Forecasting and Warning Information Session

SVCA staff organized a municipal information session about flood warning services, water control infrastructure, and the regulatory responsibilities in place to protect life and property from natural hazards.

This meeting was an opportunity for participants to understand the Conservation Authority’s role in preparing for and responding to flood related emergencies.
