“This latest storm has really solidified the need for individual action to complement the infrastructure work the City has been doing,” said City Engineer Mark Winterton. “We knew storms were getting worse and causing more flooding right across the globe, but I think this storm has really mobilized individuals to take action to be as prepared as possible moving forward.”

In the two months since the August 28th, 2017 flooding event, there have been 3,400 calls to the City for subsidy support; prior to the storm there were 4,500 between 2011 and August 2017.
