Flooding

​Flooding is the most frequent hazard in Canada and causes millions of dollars in damage annually.

In Vaughan, flash flooding of roads, catch basins, stormwater systems and some rivers can occur because of heavy rainfall over a short period of time. Flood-contaminated water can carry diseases, hazardous materials and debris that can cause harm to people and properties.
