Report Emergency Flood Work

Last updated on April 28, 2023

Report emergency flood works to Ministry of Forests staff in your region.

Certain emergency works may be completed by the Province, a municipality or a regional district without providing advance notice to a habitat officer. These include erosion or flood protection works required during a flood emergency (PDF, 1MB) declared under B.C.'s Emergency Program Act and works required to clear an obstruction from a bridge or culvert during a flood event when there exists a potential danger to life or property. These works, when undertaken by the Province, a municipality or a regional district must be reported to a habitat officer within 72 hours after making the change.
