Prepared byCatherine Parsons and British Columbia Real Estate AssociationOctober 2015BC Floodplain Map Inventory Report 1BC Floodplain Map Inventory Report | BCREAO ctober 2015 Executive summaryMost Floodplain maps in BC are out of date, putting communities and citizens at risk. The British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) has made this assertion since 2012, and this Report is the latest study to reinforce that conclusion. Floodplain maps can support municipal decision making by demonstrating the risks to both existing and proposed developments and infrastructure and, in the process, help foster resilient community growth and emergency planning. To be effective, however, Floodplain maps must be updated regularly to account for many factors, including changes in development, the environment and climate. This Report delivers on BCREA s primary objective, which was to present an Inventory of Floodplain maps in British Columbia updated outside the BC Floodplain Mapping Program, which ended in 2004.
