Climate Hazard Assessment and Mapping Project
Background
As climate-related risks such as floods and wildfires escalate, it is critical that we have a plan for managing those risks and minimizing harms to our community. This report, produced in collaboration between Snuneymuxw First Nation and the City, details 10 climate-related hazards threatening our region, identifies the highest risk events and locations, and presents this information in easy-to-read graphics and maps. Council voted in favour of endorsing this report to be used for public education and City land use and infrastructure planning. Staff will also build upon this report to update our 10-year plan for emergency and disaster management.Item Description
