IIBC – Climate Risk Reduction Strategies in Canadian Communities Webinar

Webinar Date & Time:
Tuesday, May 7, 2024 at 10:00 – 11:45 am PDT

The Institute of Catastrophic Loss Reduction (ICLR) has done extensive work on municipal adaptation to climate risks, with a focus on British Columbia municipalities. Building on ICLR’s Cities Adapt and Resilience in Recovery programs, this session will showcase successful examples of risk reduction measures implemented at the local scale to reduce future risks of losses. We will share lessons learned from over 100 case studies and collaborations with communities during the recovery period.

Webinar Objectives

• Review best practices in terms of adaptation at the local level (buildings, infrastructure and community wide)
• Emphasize the importance of proper intervention during the recovery period following an event
• Establish a case for better pre-disaster recovery planning
