Hazard, Risk, Vulnerability Analysis
Advisory committees were established for each Electoral Area (EA) across the Regional District based on the Terms-of-Reference which outlines the purpose, commitment and duration and helped guide and focus of the HRVA Committees. The intent of the committees was to engage community members and subject matter experts in an interactive analysis of the HRVA for each EA in the Region. The committees met over a 24 month period to advise on the development of HRVA’s for each electoral area. Please see the committee process outline to better understand how the HRVA committees advised the Regional District on this project.
If you have any input you would like to provide, please contact Deborah Jones-Middleton, Director of Protective Services by e-mail Deborah.JM@rdbn.bc.ca or by phone: 250-692-3195.
