Although the levels of tributaries and basins around the island of Montréal are stable, no significant drops were recorded by telemetry stations. Therefore, the Montréal agglomeration is maintaining a state of emergency through May 8 so that resources assigned to flood management can continue their work to secure affected areas. Snow melting to the north of us and precipitation can have impacts on water levels, so the city's emergency preparedness teams would like to remind residents to remain vigilant.
