An assessment of natural hazards and disasters in Canada offers a comprehensive analysis of the challenges posed by natural hazards and disasters in Canada. Given the rising costs of extreme natural events and the existing vulnerabilities within Canadian society, the need for informed and effective risk reduction is becoming increasingly urgent. This specialized book is the first interdisciplinary work that thoroughly addresses this topic and is based on a national assessment. It brings together contributions from the natural and social sciences, highlighting both the risks of these hazards and adaptive strategies for risk reduction. The collection is aimed at academics, professionals, and practitioners who wish to gain a deeper understanding of natural hazards in Canada.
