Update to Regional Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA)
The Regional Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) has been updated to include a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis of community capabilities. This assessment identifies key hazards faced by Halton Region including severe weather. Opportunities to further align the HIRA with Climate Action Response Team (CART) objectives is being explored.
The Region’s Emergency Management Program and Regional Emergency Response Plan was updated with an emphasis on climate change impacts. These updates will enhance the flexibility of the Region’s emergency responses, ensuring that services are restored quickly and disruptions to residents and businesses are minimized under extreme weather events.
