Regional / Branch Event


The frequency and costs of disasters have escalated in BC and across Canada. These continue to increase as the population grows and the climate changes. In addition, experiences from the COVID-19 pandemic, recent wildfires, floods, and the 2021 heatwave have made evident the complexity of disasters and their cascading impacts across the built environment, social systems, and the natural environment.

We are also reminded that disasters have disproportionate impacts on the most vulnerable and further exacerbate the existing and systemic inequalities in our society. There is an urgency to take action to better manage the disaster and climate risks.

This presentation will provide highlights from the new Resilience Pathways Report (www.drrpathways.ca). More than 70 experts from a wide range of institutions and disciplines have contributed to this report, bringing findings and recommendations from a diverse set of topics from across hazards, sectors, and risk management issues.
