There is no mistaking that Drumheller is a flood community – it is our number one risk.
Part of our municipal plan is a public education campaign and making sure our residents are informed so they have the knowledge and tools to plan ahead and take action for the upcoming flood season.
To truly change the channel on flood mitigation we need to understand how it impacts our land use. On August 13 we hosted a Facebook Live event with The Drumheller Mail and Mayor Heather Colberg. Click here to watch the recorded broadcast.
The Drumheller Resiliency and Flood Mitigation Office is preparing statutory documents for an updated Municipal Development Plan (MDP) and Land Use Bylaw (LUB) – the most visionary documents for Town planning. These documents lay the foundation on how we as a community can adapt to the future.

The purpose of this office is to protect the people and property in Drumheller from loss due to flooding through a sensible model for a small community to adapt to the perils of changing climate.

As a municipality, it is our duty to do what we can to protect the residents, property, environment and economy during natural disasters.
