Home Flood Protection Program (HFPP) - Pilot Project

Evaluation Phase 

The HFPP pilot project is an evaluation phase and in-home inspections have currently concluded. The refundable security deposit will be available to participants up to one year after receiving their inspection report. 

Once the evaluation phase is completed towards the end of 2025, a report and recommendations for next steps of this program will be brought to Council.  

Sewer Master Plan and the Home Flood Protection Program (HFPP) 

The Sewer and Coastal Flooding Master Plan followed the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process and included numerous recommendations to reduce the flooding risks within the City. One recommendation included a "flood prevention home check-up" to inform residents of their household flood risks. The Home Flood Protection Program (HFPP) was initiated as a pilot project to provide residents with an additional resource to better access these flooding risks.

The City of Windsor has partnered with the AET Group to complete a HFPP on a pilot basis. The HFPP is a flood risk-reduction education program developed by the Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation, a research centre at the University of Waterloo and implemented by the AET Group.
