If the Province of Alberta issues an alert or warning for Edmonton regarding rising river conditions, take these steps to protect your safety and your property.
Each year, spring runoff increases the height of the North Saskatchewan River. Heavy rains during this time can substantially increase the flood risk to Edmonton neighbourhoods and homes located in the river valley.
In Edmonton, the river usually crests in mid-to-late June due to snow melt in the Rocky Mountains. It takes about 40 hours for high river flow from there to arrive in Edmonton. There are several ways you can stay informed about river conditions and the potential flood risk.
Sign up for Alberta Emergency Alerts.
If you are experiencing or witnessing drainage issues on your property or on the street, call (780) 412-4500 and report it.
