Hazard, Risk and Vulnerability Assessment
To keep improving how we make decisions, understand community vulnerabilities, and mitigate emergency risks and hazards, the Halifax Regional Municipality Emergency Management Division is conducting a Hazard, Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (HRVA), starting spring 2023.
Divided into four phases, the HRVA program will establish profiles and recommendations for action for each of the municipality’s districts. Informed through comprehensive public engagement, these profiles will increase our understanding of human-, natural- or conflict-caused hazards that exist and how they increase community vulnerability. The recommendations will then be put into use and adapted based on continual review of HRVA profiles.
…The easiest way to contribute to the HRVA is to attend a public engagement session in your district and then contribute to our online survey.
Information on Public Engagement Sessions
Municipal Emergency Management staff will provide a brief presentation on the Hazard, Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (HRVA) process. There will be opportunities to provide feedback on the engagement process and input on historical and current hazards and risks in communities. Staff will be available to answer questions related to the HRVA and emergency management in general. Print copies of the survey will be made available as well.
Hazard, Risk and Vulnerability Assessment 2023 survey
This survey provides an opportunity for you to highlight information that may be of importance to the Hazard, Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (HRVA) for your district. The information you provide will help shape the HRVA process through the following:
There are gaps in records for historical, and recent, localized risks in communities. The information you provide will help fill any gaps and provide further clarity (and emphasis) on existing risks.
Community connectedness is one indicator for community resiliency. Community resiliency is a measure of the ability of a community to respond to, withstand, and recover from an emergency event. The information you provide about your community can help us measure current community resiliency levels and identify important community infrastructure and organizations.
Personal Preparedness is another indicator for community resiliency. Information you provide around your level of household preparedness and awareness of emergency preparedness resources can help us measure resiliency levels.
Beyond asking for your district, no personal information is required for this survey. Before completing consider attending one of the public engagement sessions or review the information presented on the page including under the About the HRVA tab and read the staff report. If you have any questions, please contact us.
