The Institute and its staff are active in the production of research that advances knowledge about reducing losses due to disasters. ICLR also supports research seeking to advance society's capacity to reduce the adverse impact of natural disasters. Support may involve letters or other public statements to demonstrate the importance of a specific research proposal. Frequently we act as advisors to researchers seeking to ensure that their findings will be relavent to insurers and others concerned about disaster loss prevention. Also we provide modest financial contributions to some projects. Some ongoing research includes the following:
Mitigating Losses to Housing due to Extreme Natural Hazards
A Decision Support Tool for Disaster Risk Management
Role of Government in Services for Natural Disaster Reduction
Enhancing Municipal Disaster Prevention Through Enabling Neighbourhood And Household Level Emergency Management
Seismic Hazard Analysis for the Montreal Urban Community
NSERC Industrial Research Chair on Extreme Weather Events at McGill University.
