This past weekend, North Shore residents faced severe flooding as an atmospheric river swept through the region, bringing heavy rains and overwhelming local systems. Streams and rivers surged as heavy rainfall—up to 100mm in some areas—overwhelmed local drainage systems. Low-lying streets quickly turned into rivers, while creeks swelled beyond their banks, flooding homes and causing road closures. For many homeowners, the sudden rise in water levels was both frightening and disruptive. As your trusted local realtor and neighbour, I want to remind you that while these weather events can be unpredictable, being prepared makes all the difference.
Now more than ever, it’s important to assess your home’s resilience against such unforeseen challenges. Ensure your drainage systems are in good condition, keep emergency kits ready, and consider regular maintenance to protect your property.
