ICLR

Basement Flood Protection Lab

A collaboration between ICLR and the University of Guelph’s School of Engineering has sought to better understand technologies that are applied to control urban flood risk in Canada.

CATview.ca

Welcome to CatView, the Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction’s natural hazard GIS portal. CatView provides interactive map layers for a range of natural hazards, with additional data sets added as they become available.

Cities Adapt

Local governments are taking action to reduce the risk to Canadians from extreme weather. ICLR’s Cities adapt: Celebrating local leadership is a series of books extolling local governments adapting to climate change and building more resilient communities.

IDF_CC

IDF_CC is a web-based intensity-duration-frequency tool to update and adapt local extreme rainfall statistics to climate change. The IDF_CC tool is pre-loaded with 898 Environment and Climate Change Canada rain stations. Users can select any rain station with 10 or more years of data and develop IDF curves based on historical data and curves adjusted to reflect climate change.

Backwater Valve Installation

This microsite contains a protocol that will help plumbers/installers, plumbing inspectors and others to review the necessary steps involved in the installation of a backwater valve. This site provides information relevant to homes serviced by underground, public sewer systems, typically located in urban areas.

Quake Smart

ICLR’s Earthquake Risk tool has been developed with the CoreLogic Canada Earthquake Model. The intent of this risk tool is to provide insights into the relative earthquake risk across Canada. This risk considers both the seismic hazard and population at risk in each region. Simply enter your postal code and get your relative risk of an earthquake in any region in Canada.

Flood Map Viewer

Flood hazard and flood risk maps provided on this website are generated using the CaMa-Flood model. These maps are intended for use at national, provincial, or regional scales and can serve as a guide for identifying areas that require further investigation.

The Canadian Centre for Recovery and Resilience

The Canadian Centre for Recovery and Resilience is a trusted resource dedicated to disaster recovery. We transform knowledge into actionable steps by serving as a networking hub for recovery actors, sharing success stories and practices, and building capacity for recovery and resilience.

Resilient Homes Task Force

The Resilient Homes Task Force (RHTF) is a collaborative initiative between the Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction (ICLR) and the Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA).
