- The City of Merritt has experienced significant flooding events in recent years, causing extensive damage to homes, businesses, and infrastructure;

- There is an urgent need to safeguard the community, infrastructure and its residents from weather events by implementing our Flood Mitigation Plan that was created as a DMAF (Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund) pre-funding qualifier; and
- The proposed dike system plan is a crucial step towards ensuring the future safety and resilience of Merritt.
