This webinar will highlight two new CSA publications recently published that will help build resiliency against flooding through flood resilient design of new residential communities and through the data on extreme precipitation events that aids that design.
This webinar is being offered as part of the TRIECA 2020 Webinar Series.
PRESENTATION OVERVIEW
Canadian communities are facing more and more challenges in protecting themselves against frequent and intense flooding events.
Now, more than ever, they need the tools to arm themselves against the impacts from flooding. Increasing resiliency to flooding will help communities return to normal functions more quickly after flooding events.
Two new CSA publications (one, a National Standard and one, guidance) were recently published to help municipalities build resiliency against flooding through flood resilient design of new residential communities and through the data on extreme precipitation events that aids that design.
CSA/W204 (released December 2019), Flood Resilient Design for New Residential Communities, provides requirements and recommendations at the broader community level and in greater detail, at the stormwater system level, with the ultimate objective to help protect against flood hazards.
