Impact of spring flooding in key areas across Canada

Description: As part of ongoing efforts to improve emergency management in Canada, Statistics Canada is working with other federal departments to assess and meet the geospatial and statistical information needs for emergency preparedness and response. To better understand the extent of the flooding, that took place in spring 2019, Statistics Canada used satellite data from the Canadian Space Agency and Natural Resources Canada from April 17 to 30, 2019, to produce maps showing the major areas affected by surface flooding across the country.
