Sudbury declares flood emergency

Sudbury Mayor Paul Lefebvre announced the emergency declaration to provide the city with the necessary tools to deploy emergency services and resources.

Conservation Sudbury has updated its warnings, stating that flooding is already occurring in multiple neighborhoods and more rain is expected by the end of the week.

Over 4,000 sandbags have been distributed, and a multi-faith spiritual team has been established to support residents in crisis.

The city is bracing for what could be the most severe flood event in its history, with infrastructure and homes at significant risk.
