Project Summary:

A better understanding of the complex relationship between disasters and the human population is vital for bringing change in the current system of disaster and emergency management in Canada. We explored past events of select disaster types and their impact on people, the economy, and the environment since the 1900s. We set out to examine the movement of the population in disaster-prone areas in order to better understand the long-term consequences of major disasters. The aim is to advance knowledge in this area to assist practitioners in developing effective policies and measures to mitigate the adverse impact and build capacity.
