Help Shape Our Region's First Hazard, Risk and Vulnerability Analysis
April 23, 2026
The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) and our municipal partners want to hear from you! We are currently developing a new Hazard, Risk and Vulnerability Analysis (HRVA) to better prepare for emergencies like wildfires, floods and power outages.
While technical data tells us how likely a disaster is, we need your lived experience to understand the human impact. Your feedback will directly influence how we prioritize local emergency planning and safety projects.

The Roadmap
August 2026: We’ll report back on "what we heard" and ask you to help prioritize specific risk reduction actions.
Summer 2027: A final public report will be released. This report will outline specific actions the PRRD and partners can take to reduce regional risks, as well as potential programs (such as training or subsidies) to help residents build their own household preparedness.
Your voice is the most important tool we have for building a safer community. Let’s prepare together!
Thank you for your contribution!
