The portal exists in, say, a teaser format. So far, it has some useful information about how to prepare and so on. The main feature is for inserting your address and receiving a map or a visual of flood risks. That is still greyed out in the portal. That's the main feature of the portal, so it's a significant problem that there's no functionality there. It would be a very useful thing for people to have when, for example, making what is perhaps the most important financial decision of their lives: buying a house.
Even if the portal comes online in a real form soon, it doesn't factor in climate change scenarios. For a long-term investment like buying a house, you want to know not just what's flooded in the past in a neighbourhood but also—given the warming trend in Canada, changes in precipitation and water levels and so on—what it will look like. It is subject to some uncertainty, obviously, because it's not an exact science, but it would be very useful information for Canadians.
