Input sought for Disaster Mapping Project


Publishing Date

Researchers from the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University are undertaking a disaster mapping project to track and tally the costs of disasters and states of emergency across the province.

This project aims to equip communities and decision-makers with detailed information, including historic and projected cost estimates, that promote proactive climate adaptation, disaster risk reduction, and climate justice planning.

Local governments are being asked to shape the BC Atlas of Disaster by answering 11 quick survey questions about what types of information they’d like to see mapped. The survey will be open until June 24, 2024.
