Red Deer River Flood Study Engagement
Official title: Red Deer River flood study engagement
Alberta gathered feedback on draft flood maps and reports for the Red Deer River. The study helps governments and residents understand flood risks and protect properties. Two rounds of public input shaped the final flood hazard maps.
