Flood Safety

Flood safety focuses on understanding and reducing the risks associated with flooding in Milton. Flooding can occur during extreme weather events, rapid snowmelt, or when waterways and drainage infrastructure exceed their capacity, and may affect homes, businesses, and infrastructure across the community. 

Flood risks vary depending on location, land use, and proximity to rivers and creeks. Some flood‑related concerns are tied to land‑use planning and long‑term risk management, while others relate to emergency preparedness and response during flood events. The Town provides information to help residents understand these risks and take appropriate action to prepare, respond, and recover. The sections below will help you find the information that best applies to your situation.
