Threat & Risk Assessments
Threat and Risk Assessments and Further Information
Provincial and Territorial Risk Assessments
These risk assessment documents are provided as an interim reference to support local and regional hazard planning. As we evolve, our goal is to integrate these assessments into a national data lakehouse—enabling the synthesis of cross-jurisdictional data to identify patterns, inform planning, and strengthen Canada’s resilience at all levels.
