As snow melts, NPCA strengthens flood readiness and calls on residents to stay informed

As temperatures begin to rise and snow starts to melt, the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) is reminding residents that spring thaw can increase the risk of localized flooding—particularly in low-lying areas and along rivers, streams, and shorelines.

Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) is actively monitoring watershed conditions through snow surveys, real-time water level data, and weather tracking, and will issue flood outlooks, advisories, or warnings as warranted.

Residents are encouraged to:

• Monitor conditions at npca.ca/flood-status
• Follow NPCA on social media: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn 
• Download the Alertable app for real-time notifications
• Report drainage concerns to their municipality
