TORONTO and NEW YORK , May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- True Flood Risk , a pioneering climate risk analytics company specializing in real-time, property-level flood intelligence, has announced the launch of Canada's first national foundational dataset for structural elevation — including First Floor Height (FFH) and corresponding First Floor Elevation (FFE) . This groundbreaking release empowers insurers, governments, and risk managers with the detailed data needed to assess and pinpoint flood risk exposure and resilience at the property, community, and portfolio levels .

This dataset was developed to meet the growing demand for granular, property-level flood data across Canada and to support national resilience efforts. The launch builds on True Flood Risk's track record of innovation. In 2019, the company introduced the first national FFH and FFE dataset in the United States — now widely used by leading insurers, reinsurers, and public agencies to inform flood risk management, develop new insurance products, and enhance underwriting and resilience planning.

As Canada evaluates and develops its National Flood Insurance Program and advances national flood mapping and modeling efforts, there is growing demand for granular, property-level data to inform risk and resilience decisions. True Flood Risk offers a powerful starting point. The platform's patented AI technology estimates building-level elevation instantly, cost-effectively, and at scale — delivering unprecedented insight into structural vulnerability and serving as a valuable alternative when land surveys or elevation certificates are not readily available.

"This is a major milestone not only for True Flood Risk but also for Canada's flood resilience journey," said Shelly Klose , CEO and Founder of True Flood Risk. "Our national dataset gives decision-makers the clarity to quantify exposure, prioritize investments, and strengthen protection for communities and critical infrastructure."

Beyond foundational property data, True Flood Risk offers a suite of tools, including real-time flood monitoring, augmented reality (AR) simulations, and on-demand assessments at the property, community, and portfolio levels. These capabilities help stakeholders move from static maps to dynamic insights that support emergency response, risk modeling, and long-term adaptation planning.
