Canada

This guide presents a compendium of practical actions that Canadians can undertake to reduce risks in relation to extreme heat that fall into three categories: changing behaviour, working with nature, improving buildings and public infrastructure.

Demand for flood insurance appears to be negatively associated with the amount of insurance coverage.

This article reviews the legislative framework for regulatory flood maps in the USA, France, and Quebec (Canada) and compares how residual risk behind protective structures is taken into account (or not) in regulatory flood maps.

This study examined whether catastrophic flooding affects Canadian residential real estate (house sold price, days on market, number of listings) and mortgage markets (arrears and deferrals).

This report examines current practices and emerging actions to reduce vulnerability and exposure to natural hazards through the integration of climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction (DRR).

Canadian communities and infrastructure are vulnerable to coastal and riverine flood hazards. The risks are escalating as a result of development in river floodplains and coastal zones, and the effects of climate change on flood and erosion hazards.

This report reviews the literature on climate change hazards, impacts, and adaptation options for six types of built infrastructure across Canada and looks at the complementary role of natural infrastructure solutions in building climate resiliency.

This report documents both Secwépemc community and provincial government agency experiences of the 2017 Elephant Hill wildfire and the subsequent precedent-setting joint leadership approach to wildfire recovery.
