Multi-year funding will help Canadians adapt to, prepare for and mitigate the significant risks of flooding.
Co-operators has renewed its multi-year funding commitment to Partners for Action (P4A), a research initiative at the University of Waterloo that focuses on empowering Canadians to become flood resilient, with a three-year commitment of $500,000 towards program delivery and research.
"People, communities and municipalities have to be empowered to enact change in the places they live, where the risks are the greatest,” says Jean Andrey, Dean, Faculty of Environment at the University of Waterloo. “Our continuing partnership with Co-operators supports the heart of this work and allows us to build deeper, impactful connections across Canada.”

Read the results of P4A’s 2020 national survey on Canadians’ opinions on flood risk. Support for property buyouts is mixed and Canadians remain dangerously unaware of their own flood risk.
The report outlines a series of research activities conducted by P4A to promote flood risk awareness and actions to reduce vulnerability and build safer and more resilient communities across Canada.
Managed retreat through property buyouts is widely regarded as an effective disaster risk reduction strategy. Designing property buyout programs involves several key policy considerations, which ideally balance efficiency, social acceptability and political feasibility.
