Table 6-6. Specific Strategies for Each Sub-region
Please refer to Section 6.1.2 for definition on the priority factors.
West-CB and East-SJ
Because of the historic land use patterns, the high population densities, the magnitude of
investment in infrastructure, and projected growth, all of the mitigation strategies presented in
Table 6-4 are recommended for these two Sub-regions. In addition, these Sub-regions should
initiate a formal and comprehensive review of their current flood management planning
documents that includes multiple municipal departments and community stakeholders.
Structural strategies are more applicable to these Sub-regions, as the high population densities
and high infrastructure investments typically justifies the higher cost of implementation.
West-1
West-1 has the lowest Flood Damages Estimates Priority Factor on the island. Therefore, no
additional strategies beyond the seven applicable to all Sub-regions are included on the priority
strategy list. These same recommendations apply to the seven communities located in Labrador
across the Gulf of St. Lawrence from Newfoundland‟s Great Northern Peninsula.
West-2
The region surrounding Deer Lake and served by the Trans Canada Highway may have the
potential to see additional growth. In addition, flood damages in communities in this region and
the close proximity of communities to water bodies, make the promotion of flood insurance and
the consideration of acquisition of properties in areas prone to flooding applicable mechanisms
in this Sub-region.
