The largest Fraser River flood on record was in May, 1894 when rapid snowmelt caused river levels to rise dramatically, triggering flooding from Harrison to Richmond. The flood was massive; however, property damage was limited because settlement was sparse. The next largest Fraser flood of record was in 1948. Because of increased development and population growth in the floodplain, the impacts were much greater than in 1894. According to the Province of BC, this included:
evacuation of 16,000 people
damage or complete destruction of about 2,000 homes
$210 million in damages (2010 dollars).
The Province also flags that recent studies show a reoccurrence of the 1894 flood could cause approximately $1 billion in economic damages to the City of Chilliwack and several billion in economic damages to the City of Richmond. Read more on the provincial Dike Management and Safety page.
Since 1948 the Fraser River has not had a flood of this magnitude, although there have been many high water events and limited floods.
