Summary The Northwest Territories (NWT) Hazard Identification Risk Assessment (HIRA) identifies the hazards and examines the risks that pose a threat to the people, property, environment and economy of the NWT. This assessment identified and rated twenty hazards that could affect the NWT, and then ranked them in order of emergency planning priority. To support the analysis that culminated in the hazard ranking, extensive documentation and data were provided by stakeholders and supplemented by online research. Six regional workshops and an online survey provided additional information on hazards in the NWT. The HIRA also looked at current hazards through a climate change lens. In anticipation of the impact of climate change in the NWT, this analysis also projected which hazards could occur more frequently or become more extreme in the future.
Local Relevance This assessment identifies the hazards and examines the risks that pose a threat to the people, property, environment and economy of the NWT. It also considers how climate change may affect these risks.
