Short-duration, high-intensity rainfall and other extreme events  create significant flooding risks and impacts for cities in North America and negatively affect the lives, livelihoods, economic activities, infrastructure and access to services  . In 2016, US flooding events caused 126 fatalities and 11 billion USD  in damages . In Canada, flooding accounts for 40% of the costs associated with weather-related disasters recorded since 1970 ; the most costly event was the 2013 Calgary flood   . Mexico City is seasonally impacted by high-intensity rainfall events that generate local flooding . Rural and remote settlements are also threatened by floods; Indigenous lands in Canada are disproportionately exposed to flooding, with almost 22% of residential properties at risk of a 1-in-100-year flood .
