Edmonton homeowners encouraged to protect themselves against flood risk

An interactive map is showing Edmontonians the flood risk within their neighbourhood as part of Canada’s Emergency Preparedness Week.
The map, presented by the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC), is touring around Alberta, B.C. and Ontario from May 3 to July 30 to raise consumer awareness on just how at risk they are of flooding.
