I don't believe we're familiar with the risk assessment that you spoke of. It's not something that we've responded to directly. It sounds like it would be an important step to be taking when trying to understand how to properly put in place flood forecasting.
One thing that we have looked at is changes in flow and how flow is shifting in river systems, specifically the Ottawa River watershed. What we are seeing is that flooding events—and this is not a huge surprise, especially this year when it is so warm and dry so early—are happening earlier. That's not just this year. We looked at it in 30-year data sets to try to capture that from a climate perspective. Not only is spring flooding happening earlier, but summer periods of low flow are being extended for longer periods of time.
We're definitely seeing impacts of changes in river flow. That would definitely inform when people would need to be prepared for flooding events, which are beginning to happen earlier, and a stronger understanding of what can be done to prepare earlier in the season.
