As part of the CEC’s 2019-2020 project, Costing Floods and Other Extreme Events, this workshop is to convene experts from Indigenous, research and academic organizations, to discuss the incorporation of Indigenous perspectives in a proposed standardized North American methodology for costing floods and to evaluate its potential application to the assessment of the costs of cascading hazards (for example, fires > floods > landslides).

This workshop will convene experts from Indigenous, research and academic organizations, to discuss the incorporation of Indigenous perspectives in the methods for costing floods.
July 15, 2020 – Methodological Approaches to Multi-hazard Assessments
