To help commercial property owners better understand and deal with the risk of flooding, the Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation has issued a new report.
The report entitled “Ahead of the Storm: Developing Flood-Resilience Guidance for Canada’s Commercial Real Estate.” was co-authored by Water Institute member Dr. Blair Feltmate, professor at the School of Environment, Enterprise and Development and Head of the Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation. The report is Canada’s first guideline for improving the flood-resilience of commercial buildings. It hopes to serve as a practical tool for commercial real estate owners to enhance the flood resilience of their properties and protect people and their assets.
The Intact Centre’s report comes as Intact Financial announced late last month that it would be investing $1 million into charities in and around Canada that are developing disaster mitigation initiatives.
