THE FIRST JUDGEMENT OF THE EARTH STARTED WITH WATER-IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THE LAST GENERATION WILL BE HAVING FLOODING
GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.
Emergency officials in Medicine Hat, Alta., are reinforcing city
infrastructure and forcing a handful of resistant residents out of the
mandatory evacuation zone as rising water levels — that have devastated
several southern Alberta communities, including large parts of Calgary —
reach the South Saskatchewan River.
The river is flowing at 3,900 cubic metres per second, and is expected to peak Monday morning at 9 a.m. MT with flows reaching 5,500 cubic metres per second."It's pretty high now and it's climbing even higher than this," said Norm Boucher, the city's mayor.
Preparing for this scenario, emergency crews have been dispatched to both sides of the city. About 15,000 emergency workers are on the north side, and about 45,000 are stationed on the south side of the river.
"This is going to be a very challenging time for Medicine Hat," Alberta Premier Alison Redford said on a visit to the city on Saturday evening. "There's going to be a lot of uncertainty and people are going to be afraid. I want people to know we have the opportunity to get through this."
Across Alberta, some 175,000 people were ordered to leave their homes as the floods ravaged the province's southern communities. At least three people died in High River, which is about 60 kilometres south of Calgary and is believed to be one of the hardest-hit communities in the province.In Calgary, the floodwaters filled the city's iconic Saddledome stadium up to the 10th row of seats and washed out the Calgary stampede grounds. The city's annual stampede is scheduled to run July 5-14.South of Calgary and west of Medincine Hat, the city of Lethbridge and Lethbridge county also feared the floodwaters would pass through. However, both areas ended their states of local emergency on Saturday.Lethbridge has about 84,000 residents, while the county has slightly more than 10,000.

Mandatory evacuations
Some 10,000 people have been ordered to leave their homes along the South Saskatchewan's banks. Officials have turned off gas and power to the homes in the evacuation area.But, 10 people are known to be refusing to heed the mandatory evacuation, said Ron Robinson, the director of emergency services. Police are at their homes, attempting to convince them to leave.Under the Emergency Management Act, police have the authority to fine or arrest anyone who refuses to follow a mandatory evacuation, he said."We need to protect lives, even if they don’t want us to."The city opened two emergency care shelters to house people displaced by the floods, and most people are co-operating with the evacuation orders."My whole house, absolutely everything is going," one Medicine Hat resident told CBC News. "Don’t fool around with Mother Nature.""I’m banking on a lot worse than what people are expecting," another of the city's residents told CBC News, adding that some people have been reluctant to leave because they did not face danger in the city's last round of flooding.Bridge closure may split city
Officials will close three bridges at 10:30 a.m. MT, and there is the possibility they will have to close the Trans-Canada highway bridge.The move would split Medicine Hat into two zones: north and south.Preparing for this scenario, emergency crews have been dispatched to both sides of the city. About 15,000 emergency workers are on the north side, and about 45,000 are stationed on the south side of the river.

Alberta flood zone development was a mistake, former MLA says
2006 flood report called for the end of land sales in known flood risk areas

A former Alberta MLA who headed up a flood mitigation task force
after the 2005 floods says new development should not have been allowed
to spring up in the flood zones."The one thing they could have done … they should have stopped
building some housing and buildings on the flood plains. And that was a
strong part of that report," George Groeneveld, who chaired the flood
mitigation committee and report, told CBC News."If you’re going to build in those areas, you take on the
responsibility yourself. That to me was the strength of the report, stop
building where we shouldn't be building."
"Undeveloped flood plains are the natural and most effective form of flood mitigation, and this recommendation will protect those areas."Sale of flood-prone Crown lands creates the potential "for increased financial liability for the province in terms of Disaster Recovery Program funding that must outweigh the short-tem financial benefits of the sale," the report stated.With the demand high to live in such scenic areas, along with a new source of tax revenue from properties, Groeneveld said he understands the pressure on the municipalities to sell."Once developers buy that land, it takes real political will from the municipal governments to shut them down and say 'No, you can't do it,'" said Groeneveld, who served eight years as the Tory MLA for Highwood.The report also recommended that disaster recovery payments for "new inappropriate development in flood risk areas" be prohibited."To me that was the real issue with the report, if you’re going to [build there] the individuals themselves are responsible," he said. "When you have a disaster, don't be looking for the government to bail you out when you build in these areas."As well, the report recommended a notification system be established that informs potential buyers that the property is located in a flood-risk area.Groeneveld said he was disappointed that the report was never released during his time in government and that by the time it was released it was "so far after the fact that a lot of the report had become redundant."The report also recommended the completion of flood risk maps for urban areas in the province; a program to ensure those maps are updated; the identification of priority rural flood risk areas that require flood risk mapping; and making historic flood information available to the public on a website.
