On July 1, Canada Day, the City of Ottawa and surrounding area experienced intense rainfall over a short period of time. Many parts of the city experienced between 50 to 150 mm of rainfall in just a few short hours, with some areas experiencing a storm event close to or exceeding a 1 in 200-year event. Thousands of households were impacted by flooding and power outages.
You can help people affected by this devastating storm.
Donations to the Canadian Red Cross will be used to provide assistance to those impacted by the flooding in and around the Ottawa area with immediate and ongoing relief, recovery, and resilience efforts in response to the floods, as well as community preparedness and risk reduction for future all-hazard disaster events within Ottawa and the surrounding area. Funds will also be used to support mobilization of response and community partners.
