Private Member's Bill 56, Fewer Floods, Safer Ontario Act, 2022, commits to a comprehensive public awareness and education program and mitigates flooding risks. The Bill will enact several measures related to the public awareness of flooding issues, addressing the critical communication and education needed to fill this gap in knowledge of emergency preparedness. With today's changing weather patterns, Torontonians and the broader province's residents need to be informed on how to prevent, mitigate, manage and recover from flooding.
