Flooding

Emergencies, like flooding, can occur unexpectedly. Each resident plays a crucial role in helping our Town recover quickly by being prepared. We aim to equip you with information about the most likely hazards and risks you may encounter, enabling you to plan, stay ready, and protect yourself, your family, your home, and your property.

When lake levels are high, there is an increased risk for flooding in the region. Essex Region Conservation Authority (ERCA) works to prevent flooding, keep water clean, plant trees, and protect the environment. Visit the ERCA website for shoreline flood status and water shed flood status updates.

We encourage all residents of LaSalle to register for LaSalle Alerts mass notification system. It will be used to provide important information in times of emergency like floods, large fires, evacuation notices, boil water advisories, etc. Add your contact information to make sure you are included in all future tests and notifications. 

Elderly or limited mobility residents, those without transportation, those who use medical equipment and/or those who have significant health issues who need assistance in an evacuation are encouraged to call us at 519-969-7771, ext. 0 to register for evacuation assistance.
