Some municipalities within TRCA watersheds experienced muliple floods in the summer of 2024. TRCA issues flood messages to advise municipal emergency responders, as well as to make the public aware of flood risk and associated safety hazards.
Stay informed about potential flooding. Be prepared for flooding by signing-up for TRCA’s Flood Messaging Service. If flooding from a river is forecasted, TRCA issues flood messages to designated individuals within municipalities, local agencies, school boards, the media, and members of the public who self-subscribe.

THREAD: Spring is here, and with the thaw comes the risk of flooding. As the snow melts and water levels rise in rivers, the potential for flooding increases, especially with additional rain. TRCA’s Flood Forecasting and Warning program is monitoring these flood risks closely. Stay informed by reading @TRCA_Flood Spring Safety Message https://trca.ca/news/ for tips for keeping you safe this spring.
Following the storm events of 2024, TRCA’s Board of Directors have directed staff to improve public awareness of flooding by working closely with MPs, MPPs, local Councillors, and community leaders. As spring approaches, bringing increased flood risks from melng snow and rainfall, TRCA’s Flood Forecasting and Warning Program is closely monitoring conditions to keep communities informed. Through established communication channels, we aim to increase sign-ups for TRCA’s Flood Messaging Service, ensuring more residents receive timely updates on flood risks.
