Flood Protection

Flooding poses catastrophic risks to BC’s economic vitality, safety, environment, property owners and communities. BCREA’s flood protection work focuses on floodplain maps, a strong role for the provincial government and education for REALTORS® and their clients.

BCREA Recommends the Provincial Government:

• Take the lead, working with local and federal governments, to ensure floodplain maps are updated and remain current.
• Ensure sufficient provincial government expertise and capacity to implement flood mitigation initiatives, including the National Disaster Mitigation Program.
