SUMMARY:Webinar: Building a shared perspective on Arctic waters through community-engaged research
DESCRIPTION:Register Here (https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_twi1S0qHRo6rqjT-r59u7g) \nYou are cordially invited to join us for a live webinar presentation\, jointly hosted by CORC CoP and MEOPAR’s Canadian Marine Shipping Risk Forum on February 17. \nThis webinar will present perspectives by a panel of 3 different rights holder and stakeholder groups around their shared interests in the use and protection of Arctic waters as both shipping corridors to assist development and facilitate transportation\, and as cultural sites which represent Inuit places of significance. \nResearch carried out under the University of Ottawa-led Arctic Corridors and Northern Voices research project (https://www.arcticcorridors.ca) in 14 communities across Arctic Canada resulted in a series of community-specific maps to inform users of Arctic waters about significant socio-cultural\, archaeological and ecological areas\, and local travel routes\, for integration into the Low Impact Shipping Corridors. The research also created an opportunity for stakeholders\, including Inuit community members\, to discuss the risks of increased shipping in these waters and possible management strategies to be considered to address those risks. \nDr. Natalie Carter will present key findings of this research initiative. Shirley Tagalik will present on the impacts of partnering in this research for a local community\, the on-going work being done in the Arviat coastal region and on how engaging youth in research can build sustainable practices for a community. Keenan “Nooks” Lindell will present on the impacts of youth engagement in community-based projects\, including ocean-related research and initiatives. \nNatalie Carter\nResearch Associate @University of Ottawa \nNatalie Carter is a Research Associate in the Environment\, Society and Policy Group in the Department of Geography\, Environment\, and Geomatics at University of Ottawa and the Straight Up North Research Team in the School of Earth\, Environment and Society at McMaster University. She is the Community Research Lead of the Arctic Corridors and Northern Voices research project. In this role\, she actively engages Inuit and Northerners in the development of potential management strategies related to national marine policy initiatives (shipping). Natalie spends about ¼ of her time in Canadian Arctic communities working closely with community organizations\, youth\, adults\, and Elders. This includes youth capacity enhancement\, co-constructing projects\, documenting local knowledge\, conducting analyses\, and results validation and sharing. \nKeenan “Nooks” Lindell\nUjjiqsuinniq Coordinator @Aqqiumavvik Society \nKeenan Lindell is an Inuk from Arviat\, NU currently working as Ujjiqsuinniq Coodinator for Aqqiumavvik Society.

SUMMARY:What’s That Sound? Tsunami Evacuation on Vancouver Island
DESCRIPTION:It’s 3am on an early Tuesday morning\, and you wake to the sound of a warning siren. You realize it’s your community’s tsunami warning system\, and listen as it broadcasts instructions to evacuate the tsunami inundation zone and seek shelter on higher ground. You aren’t sure if you live in the inundation zone or not. What do you do? \nWe conducted parallel door-to-door and online surveys to better understand how Port Alberni residents responded to this exact scenario on an early January morning in 2018. We wanted to learn how and when residents learned about the tsunami warning\, what actions they took to respond\, and where evacuees sought safety. We also wanted to explore residents’ views on how the evacuation was conducted by emergency officials and how the event may have changed their perceptions of tsunami risk in the community. Join us as we discuss some of our findings from over 450 public surveys and interviews with 11 community and regional emergency officials in the Alberni Valley and highlight some best practices to improve future evacuations. \nPlease visit this link to register:   https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_mzAyBYAdTG6XCK-Z2AjcUg \nDr. Ryan Reynolds (Post-Doctoral Fellow\, University of British Columbia\, School of Community and Regional Planning) \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Building Equity Using Nature-based Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nGreen infrastructure and nature-based solutions provide low-emissions urban planning approaches to climate impacts such as flooding\, heatwaves and air quality\, improved habitat for biodiversity\, and benefits for mental and physical health\, with the latter becoming even more important during the pandemic. However\, access to green space is not always equitable\, and without strategic planning these solutions can lead to gentrification and displacement. As interest in nature-based solutions accelerates across Canada\, it is essential that we embed equity considerations in their design. \nOn November 10 from 11am-12pm PT\, join ACT (the Adaptation to Climate Change Team)\, SFU and special guests Grant Fahlgren\, Chair of the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects’ Reconciliation Advisory Committee\, and Katherine Howard\, Project Manager for the City of Vancouver’s Parks and Recreation Services Master Plan\, for a webinar on the intersections between equity\, green infrastructure\, climate action\, and human health and well-being and ways to incorporate equity into climate and community planning. \nPresenters\n\nGrant Fahlgren\, Project Designer at PFS Studio and Chair of the Reconciliation Advisory Committee of the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects. \nKatherine Howard\, Project Manager\, VanPlay\, the City of Vancouver’s Parks and Recreation Services Master Plan. \nPaige Hunter\, ACT research assistant; student\, Simon Fraser University’s School of Resource and Environmental Management. \nDeborah Harford\, Executive Director\, ACT (the Adaptation to Climate Change Team)\, Faculty of Environment\, Simon Fraser University.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Room for rivers and voices: A comparison of the Room for the River approaches in Alberta and the Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:Historically\, both Alberta and the Netherlands have focused on physical  infrastructure  approaches to flood mitigation.  However\, following catastrophic  flood  risk in the 1990s\, the Dutch government developed the  Room-for-River (RfR) program\, breaking from their 1000-year tradition of structural engineering approaches of ‘fighting the water’ to ‘living with water’. In Alberta\, the  high cost of the 2013  disaster and a growing sensitivity to the implications of climate variability triggered a reassessment of costly structural solutions and exploration of other approaches\, leading to three  RfR  projects. In this presentation\, I compare the RfR approaches in the Netherlands and Alberta through the Transition Governance Framework.  Unlike transferable  technological change\, RfR requires fundamental institutional\, governance\, and cultural change\, and hence is more challenging to implement. This presentation sets the stage for discussions on how a combination of policies and practices  could  make  more room for rivers and  voices in flood risk management.https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_FQ7T2NxsTQOxiGv2E8MZ1Qhttps://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_FQ7T2NxsTQOxiGv2E8MZ1Qhttps://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_FQ7T2NxsTQOxiGv2E8MZ1Q

SUMMARY:Webinar - Navigating the Changing Communication Landscape: Social Media For Risk and Crisis Communication
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER FOR WEBINAR HERE \nWebinar Description\nOver the last 25 years\, rapid advancements in the development and proliferation of communications technologies has had a dramatic impact on the ways we obtain\, interpret\, and respond to information. This is particularly true within the context of risk and crisis communication\, which has been profoundly affected by the development of mobile technologies and new media. Social media is one such technology that has (perhaps unexpectedly) influenced all facets of emergency management\, particularly preparedness and response. This talk will begin with an introduction to the field of risk and crisis communication\, and then will discuss the impact that social media has had on disaster preparedness and response. This talk will outline the strengths of social media for crisis communications\, as well as several significant challenges that social media has posed for emergency management. Lastly\, this talk will examine several case studies (Hurricane Sandy and 2011 Goderich\, Ontario tornado) to set the stage for a deeper discussion about lessons learned and future directions of research and practice. \nPresenter: Dr. Amber Silver\, Assistant Professor for the College of Emergency Preparedness\, Homeland Security and Cybersecurity\, University at Albany. \nDr. Silver received her Ph.D. in Geography and Environmental Management from the University of Waterloo in Ontario\, Canada. Her primary research interests focus on how individuals and groups make decisions before\, during\, and after high-impact weather. She is interested in the roles that public attention\, risk perception\, and communication play in protective action decision making during extreme events. Her most recent research has focused on the ways that new technologies\, including social media\, influence how individuals obtain\, interpret\, and respond to official and unofficial warning information. Key areas of interest include: the impact of environmental disasters on sense of place and place attachment; the use of social media as a risk and crisis communications tool; and the role of new media in collective sense-making during and after disaster.

SUMMARY:Webinar: How Risk Research Can Inform Professional Practice
DESCRIPTION:Risk research can be of great importance for professional practice\, and vice versa. However\, to connect the two domains is not always easy. During a period of over 15 year scholars at Lund University have been conducting research in close collaboration with professionals working with disaster risk management (DRM) in Sweden. The presentation is based on some of the experiences from several research programs during this period. It starts with a presentation of disaster risk management in general and use the Swedish DRM system to exemplify. Then follows a presentation of a research framework that has been used to ensure both scientific rigor and practical relevance of the results. And finally\, the use of the framework is exemplified by describing several studies focusing on helping professionals improve their practice. One important practical problem addressed by the studies are how to aggregate risk information from several sources. \nWednesday\, July 3 at 11am ET

SUMMARY:Webinar: Modelling of Future Flood Risk Across Canada Under Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Register Here \nClimate change has induced changes in key climate variables and hydrological cycle across Canada. With continuous emission of greenhouse gases\, this trend is expected to continue over the 21st century and beyond. \nIn this study\, a macro-scaled hydrodynamic model is used to simulate 25 km resolution daily streamflow across Canada for historical (1961-2005) and future (2061-2100) timelines. Future projections from 21 GCMs following four Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) are used for analysis. Changes in the frequency and magnitude of historical 100-year and 250-year return period flood events and month of occurrence of peak flow are analyzed. Results obtained from uncertainty analysis for both return period flood events found that flood frequency will increase in most of the northern Canada\, southern Ontario\, southern British Columbia\, northern Alberta\, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. \nPresenter: Slobodan P. Simonovic\nProfessor\, Civil and Environmental Engineering\, University of Western Ontario\nDirector of Engineering Studies\, Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction

SUMMARY:Webinar: Communicating Disaster Risk - An Evaluation of Publicly Accessible Disaster Maps in Canada
DESCRIPTION:Webinar – Communicating disaster risk? An evaluation of publicly accessible flood maps in Canada\nMEOPAR and CORC COP cordially invite you to a webinar presentation of recent research evaluating flood maps and their utility for communicating about flood risk in Canada.  You are welcome to share this invitation with other colleagues who may be interested. \nWhen: Wednesday\, May 8\, 2019 (1 hr)\n10 am PT / 1 pm ET / 2 pm AT / 2:30 pm / NL \nREGISTER HERE \nDescription \nIn a time of extreme weather\, ageing infrastructure and increasing urban development\, it is perhaps unsurprising that economic losses from floods are on the rise. A fundamental step to building resiliency is to identify risks in order to reduce and manage their consequences. This webinar will present new research on the information that is available to the public to identify their flood risk and act on it. Our research found that flood maps—information that is a cornerstone of flood risk management—is available to most surveyed communities but it is difficult to find\, incomplete and it is normally highly technocratic. We argue that in a time when governments look to the public to reduce flood risk\, user-friendly information and institutions need to be in place to support the public. \nPresenters\nAndrea Minano\, PhD Candidate @Department of Geography and Environmental Management\, University of Waterloo\nAndrea is a specialist in Geographic Information Systems and has previously worked for municipal\, provincial and federal governments as well as the insurance industry. Andrea’s research and work experience are highly interdisciplinary ranging from visualization of flood risk\, community-based climate adaptation and flood risk management policy. Andrea’s current research focuses on public and private responsibilities in flood risk management and identifying opportunities for strengthening flood resiliency in Canada. \nJason Thistlethwaite\, Associate Professor @School of Environment\, Enterprise and Development\, University of Waterloo\nJason’s research focuses on innovative strategies designed to reduce the economic impacts of extreme weather and climate change. He explores the role of insurance and government risk-transfer in promoting climate change adaptation and reducing economic vulnerability. To inform this work\, he has worked directly with business and government leaders in the insurance\, banking\, real estate\, building\, and investment industries. Jason is also a frequent speaker\, media contributor on Canada’s growing vulnerability to extreme weather\, and a self-described “weather geek”. Check out a recent CBC article and interview with Jason on CBC’s The Current\, April 3\, 2019: ‘Get Used to Being Disrupted’) \nWe hope you can attend!
