Working paper

In considering the 1974 flood response it is important to bear in mind two general factors: 1) Organizations and individuals in Southern Manitoba have had continuing experience with flooding, so that a great deal of general knowledge of typical flood related problems exists as well as the expertise required to utilize existing resources in dealing with these problems before and after they arise; 2) Damage mitigating structures have been built in many areas regularly affected by flooding in the past, thus necessitating the maintenance rather than the construction of protective structures in many areas. This response demonstrates how the protective structures and plans can prevent natural disasters from exacting a greater toll than necessary
