The OQACC has just realised three new research reports on the 2019 floods in the Beauce region.
These studies are part of the project “Conducting Post-Event Assessements (REX by its acronym in French) of Floods that caused damage in Quebec – Society Component (REX-SO),” funded by the Ministry of Public Safety (MSP).
The reports present the findings from the post-event assessements conducted in three municipalities that were severely affected by the Chaudière River flooding in April 2019: Sainte-Marie, Scott, and Vallée-Jonction.
Five years after the events, these documents provide an overview of what happened. Among other things, they include:
- the characteristics of the flood (duration, water levels, evacuations);
- the social, economic, and health impacts on communities;
- citizens’ perceptions of flood risk;
- their assessment of crisis management;
- the factors influencing the adoption of preventive behaviors or adaptation measures.
By combining the results from the three municipalities, the reports offer a regional overview of the 2019 floods and propose concrete actions to improve flood risk management at both the municipal and provincial levels.
