Planning and Preparation
Mackenzie County continues to plan and prepare to protect against future threats of flooding caused by the rising waters of the Peace River. In the event of a flood, measures will be taken to protect key County infrastructure along the Peace River. Residents are responsible to protect their own properties.
The County has a sandbagging machine that can be used to help fill approximately 2000 sandbags per hour. Residents and business owners are responsible for filling and transporting their own sandbags, as well as constructing dikes around their properties.
