PROJECTS

To support collaboration across the floodplain, LFFC is developing regional tools that help show shared risks, shared assets, and shared opportunities. These tools bring together data and knowledge from First Nations, municipalities, provincial agencies, and other partners.

​

01

Regional Climate

Hazard Database 

We are building a regional, spatial database that brings together technical studies, assessments, and climate-hazard information from across the Lower Fraser. By pooling knowledge from First Nations, local governments, provincial agencies, and partners, the database helps show what we know, what we don’t, and where future work is needed.

02

Critical Infrastructure Interdependency Analysis

A regional model that maps how transportation, water, power, communications, emergency services, cultural infrastructure, and natural systems depend on one another. This work helps identify weak points, cascading risks, and priorities for regional resilience planning.
