Flood
Flooding could be caused by one or more of the following: prolonged
heavy rainfall; stormy “up inlet” winds; high tides; sudden
thaw after heavy snowfall; dam failure (Great Central and Elsie Lakes).
Minor Flooding: Minor flooding is defined as an incident that involves a single or small number of single-family lot/dwellings in a small geographical area. Minor flood events would normally be handled by the appropriate response agency and are confined to a single jurisdiction. Major Flooding: Major flooding is defined as an incident that extends over a large geographical region. A flood of this magnitude would normally expand outside the boundaries of a single response agency and its mutual aid agreements and normally requires a coordinated response from multiple agencies or jurisdictions.
