The Disaster and Climate Risk and Resilience Assessment (DCRRA), a comprehensive look at how climate-related hazards impact what we value most.

Developed collaboratively by the Ministries of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness and Energy and Climate Solutions, alongside Indigenous partners, academic institutions, and local governments, the DCRRA focuses on six hazards: riverine flood, coastal flood, extreme heat, wildfire, drought and water scarcity, and earthquake.

The assessment provides insights into:

• How climate change is influencing these hazards.
• How hazards may impact things we value: natural environment, built environment, economy, governance, health and wellbeing, and society, cultures and relationality
• How hazards may impact certain groups of people more than others
• What actions can reduce risks and strengthen recovery.

Supporting resources include an interactive B.C. Hazard Insights Tool, story map, and summaries for policymakers. For more information, contact ClimateReadyBC@gov.bc.ca.
