It is important to recognise that circumstances change and plans should not remain static. Flood Emergency Plans should be reviewed regularly to ensure plans remain effective. They should be kept up to date and well understood particularly by flood-prone communities and emergency service agencies.
Municipal Flood Emergency Plans provide an important link to the FloodSafe program. The FloodSafe program is a key communicative tool that helps to keep the community informed about flood risks specific to their community, and advises of recommended response actions to flood emergencies.
