Stettler Flood Study - Community Feedback on Draft Maps

Official title: Stettler flood study engagement

Closed Community Planning Environment & Climate Housing & Communities
Alberta gathered feedback on draft flood maps and reports for the Stettler area. The study helps identify flood-prone areas so governments can keep people safe and protect properties. Public input has now been used to finalize the study.

Why This Matters

Live in or near Stettler? These flood maps could affect your property value, insurance rates, and what you can build on your land. If your property is newly mapped in a flood zone, you might face new building restrictions or higher insurance costs.

What Could Change

The finalized flood maps will guide local development decisions in Stettler. Properties identified in flood zones may face building restrictions or require flood-proofing measures. Municipal planning and emergency response will use these maps going forward.

Key Issues

  • Are the draft flood maps accurate for the Stettler area?
  • Do the draft reports reflect local flood conditions?

What Happened
