Nova Scotia Flood Event Database

1992 to 2015
This database contains historical records of flood events in Nova Scotia from 1992 to February 1, 2015. Each record in the database represents a single news article from The Chronicle Herald. Our database provides the best matched city where the flood event occurred, the date the story was published, a snippet from the article's full story, other places and the county referenced in the news article (if available), and a citation for the record. We also provide an interactive map for historical flood events dating back to 1759 until 1987.
This project is supported by Nova Scotia Environment, The Chronicle Herald, the School of Information Management and the Institute for Big Data Analytics at Dalhousie University.
