Update – Water levels - Gatineau moves to monitoring mode

Gatineau, May 27, 2022. – Today, after five days of municipal crews on standby, we�have solid projections, and they look good. However, it is essential that everyone understand the importance of remaining vigilant, and shoreline residents must remain at the ready.

Quick facts

●	The experts have cross-checked their projection models and everything points to levels remaining below flooding.

●	Thus, we can move from �emergency� to �monitoring� mode.

●	Gatineau crews remain on standby and ready to step in if necessary as the situation evolves.

●	The Emergency Operations Centre continues to maintain operations and coordinate monitoring and municipal action with its partners.

●	Shoreline residents are asked to remain vigilant and to keep checking for information on our: - social media - website - alerts (be sure to sign up)

●	For people who have built dikes, we ask that you keep them as a preventative measure.

●	Residents can rest assured that Gatineau will inform them of any changes.

●	As you know, earlier in the week: - We were anticipating a scenario not unlike the one we faced in 2019. - Within 48�hours, projections estimated that water levels would rise 2.27 metres.

●

Throughout the week:
- Data was collected in the field, and weather forecast models and observations of the impact on the rivers were monitored.
- The data used in the analyses fluctuated from day to day.
- The rainfall trajectory expected north of the Outaouais became more precise.
