Since 2020, Louis Poirier (PhD) has been focused on improving flood resiliency for Canadians. He has worked with several Canadian municipalities to study the performance of their storm and sanitary storm sewer systems. This work has helped municipalities to better prioritize the spending of their limited infrastructure dollars.

​

Louis has worked with small businesses, universities, governments and non-profit organizations to test the performance of homes and flood protection measures in extreme flood conditions. He built a full scale model home in a laboratory basin and flooded it to better understand how to protect a home from flooding. He is also working with the CSA on two standards to better protect all Canadians from flood damages.
