Visual representation of key adaptation measures from Calgary’s Flood Resilience Plan. The plan uses a three-layered approach: 1) Upstream flood protection on the Bow and Elbow Rivers to increase water storage and help slow larger flows from the mountains, 2) Community-level flood protection through the installation and upgrading of permanent infrastructure, and 3) Property-level flood protection through changes to building regulations and bylaws, limiting types of development in flood-prone areas and public education.
