FLOOD PREPAREDNESS REMINDER AS WATERWAYS BEGIN TO RISE ACROSS DUFFERIN COUNTY - March 3, 2026

By Township of Amaranth - Mar 04, 2026

(DUFFERIN COUNTY) - The Dufferin OPP is reminding residents to prepare for warmer weather as the Grand River, along with other local waterways, begin to wake up after a long winter. Rising temperatures combined with melting snow and seasonal rainfall can quickly lead to increased water levels and localized flooding throughout the county.
Important Reminders:
Stay Away from River Banks: Riverbanks can become unstable and slippery during the spring thaw. Fast-moving water may carry dangerous floating debris, including ice chunks, construction materials, tree limbs and other objects. Residents are urged to keep a safe distance from all waterways and ensure children and pets are supervised at all times.
Check Your Equipment: Now is an excellent time to ensure your generator is in proper working order. Test sump pumps to confirm they are functioning correctly and consider having extra sandbags on hand should water levels rise. Being proactive can help reduce potential property damage.
Generator Safety: If you are using a gas-powered generator or water pump, ensure the area is well-ventilated to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Never operate these devices indoors or in enclosed spaces.
Photo Safety Reminder: While high water levels may draw attention, getting too close to waterways or standing on bridges and riverbanks for photos can put your life at risk, as well as the safety of first responders. No photo is worth compromising your safety.
Plan Accordingly: If you live in a flood-prone area, take proactive steps now to protect your property. Stay informed, monitor local weather alerts and follow the guidance of local officials.
The Dufferin OPP encourages all residents to remain vigilant and prepared. By staying informed and taking preventative measures, we can work together to keep our community safe during the spring thaw.
