2023 – Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation

A new report, by the University of Waterloo’s Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation, offers practical guidance to help Canadians living in forested and grassland regions to follow well-tested actions that can reduce the risk of their home burning by up to 75 per cent.

The report presents a user-friendly synthesis of best practice guidance developed primarily by the National Research Council of Canada, and FireSmart Canada. It consolidates two plain language, image-based infographics, designed to accelerate implementation of practical actions:  Three Steps to a Cost-Effective FireSmart Home and Three Features of a Wildfire-Ready Community.
