Collaborative Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Adaptation Project

The Collaborative Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Adaptation project will assess flood, steep creek, and landslide risks in the Fraser-Fort George region, while also considering climate change impacts. The Fraser Basin Council is serving as a coordinator for the project, supporting the advisory committee, and managing communications and community engagement.

BGC Engineering Ltd. is carrying out the technical work, including geohazard mapping and risk identification. Funded by the Union of BC Municipalities’ Community Emergency Preparedness Fund, the project aims to create a framework for consistent, risk-informed decisions and future mitigation planning.

This will build and strengthen the capacity of local disaster management response by developing a better understanding of risk, governance, organizational roles, capacity, needs, procurement, and change.

A representative from each of the project partners, as well as representatives from the following agencies form the advisory committee.
