An exploration of actionable strategies to reduce earthquake and flood risks in the Georgia Basin. Understanding Risk Vancouver 2017 is a community forum to explore place-based strategies that will promote disaster resilience in the Georgia Basin region of southwest British Columbia. Our goal is to build on the excellent work already underway at various scales of governance, and to support the shift in conversation from hazard and risk analysis to an evaluation of risk reduction strategies to help build disaster resilience through proactive investments in mitigation and adaptation. |
