The Flood Warning and River Flood Watch remains in effect for the Lake Erie shoreline, Port Maitland and areas downstream of the Dunnville Dam. Flooding associated with storm surge is now expected to impact low lying areas along the shoreline and could reach Flood Zone 5.

The most recent Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry (NDMNRF) forecast is advising of continued high winds from the south and southwest for the Lower Great Lakes, resulting in a significant storm surge. Waves up to 1.8 m are expected to accompany this event.

Haldimand County Emergency Services and staff are closely monitoring conditions and roads along the lakeshore. Crews are currently responding to multiple calls and members of the public are urged to stay home and away from lakeshore areas throughout this event.

Residents should pay close attention to changing weather conditions and watch for updated flood messages. A Flood Zone Map, flood guide for lakeshore property owners and other emergency preparedness resources can be found at HaldimandCounty.ca/floods.
