On behalf of the Foothills County RCMP, with the changing of the seasons we are encouraging residents to take precautions ahead of potential flooding.

As warmer temperatures arrive, we are reminding residents to take proactive steps to prepare for potential flooding. Seasonal changes, including heavy rainfall and rapid snowmelt, can increase the risk of localized flooding, particularly in areas that have experienced high water levels in previous years.

To help residents stay safe and protect their properties, we can offer the following flood preparedness tips:

  • Monitor local weather alerts and emergency notifications for potential flood risks in your area.
  • Have essentials such as bottled water, non-perishable food, medications, flashlights, batteries, and important documents in a waterproof container.
  • Clear eavestroughs, ensure sump pumps are functioning, and move valuable items to higher levels of your home.
  • Identify a safe route and ensure all household members know where to go in case of an evacuation.
  • Never attempt to walk or drive through flooded roadways, as water depth and currents can be unpredictable.
  • Listen to local authorities for updates and evacuation instructions if necessary.
  • If you experience an emergency due to flooding, call 911.

As always, report any suspicious activity to your local RCMP Detachment, 24/7:

  • Turner Valley RCMP – 403-933-4262
  • High River RCMP – 403-652-2356
  • Okotoks RCMP – 403-938-4202

Stay safe and keep any eye out for one another.
